Looking for hardwood source or maybe small sawmill

Call Woodmizer. They have lists of owners in your area that do custom cutting. Some of them also sale lumber that they’ve cut up.

But if you want to mill your own lumber Wood-Mizer, as Karson says, will either help you find someone with a portable bandsaw in your area or will be more than willing to work with you on purchasing one from them.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

keep asking around to find rough lumber. Try Woodfinders , Woodplanet , Woodweb . As far as buying a sawmill to do your own wood , be aware that the mill itself represents a small fraction of the investment you will need to produce wood ready to use. Buying lumber from someone else that is established will look cheap if you do your homework ! It is great to establish a relationship with a sawyer as he will lookout for your needs and can really help .Hope this helps, feel free to ask questions -

If you’re near Ponchatoula, check out Acadian hardwoods. They are a wholesaler but do sale to walk ins. and they have the best prices i’ve seen in the area.
