Doing some research, I found that there is a saw mill very close by, that I never knew was there.
We made the short trip this morning, and I was pleasantly surprised at the selection of wood.
They specialize in domestic and exotic hardwoods in widths up to 24" and any length up to about 20'. It's all 4/4 and 8/4 with some in much thicker dimensions. They had several live edge pieces in various species, and stuff with curl, birds eye, burls, and spalted. They machine moldings and can make any custom shape, along with milling any piece to any dimension to meet someone's requirements.
I picked up five pieces of spalted Maple and Cherry. The one piece is 4/4 12"x8' and they almost paid me to take it.
I also got a 4/4 6"x12' curly Maple board. This stuff is almost being given away.
I most definitely will be visiting again. A LOT of pen making blanks in the place.
