Sourcing green lumber?

Check with your local arborist.

I live in South Dakota and all we have here are broad leaf trees. I get my green wood from actual local trees. Often times I will see a tree tech cutting trees from around power lines and such and they are always willing to lob me off a piece or two. I would think you would have a glut of free wood on the coast! Any jobs there?

-- Sometimes when I am building something and it is out of square, I just bend my square.

As Dennis and Christopher mentioned, the arborist or Tree Techs can probably steer you in the right direction. Usually just driving around town, you can find workmen trimming trees- just ask them if you can get a couple of pieces. They will probably even help you load them!

Ahhh excellent, didn’t think of arbourists. Great idea, I will give it a whirl.

Jobs in Seattle are pretty plentiful I think. Definately are in software engineering anyway :)

Good luck!

I got some fresh cut burly maple from our city park.

I seen them cutting a tree, & the next morning, I caught them before they hauled it away.

They dumped a pickup load in my backyard.

This isn’t meant as endorsement, but after a tornado hit a town in the neighboring county, there was a lot of green wood free for the taking. I didn’t get any but storms produce a lot of green timber.
