Classifieds here (or other members here), then a combination of #4 and #1 (some times it's small lumber dealers who sell on eBay, like Chitswood).

What do you get at the dump?
I have turned pens out of old pallet wood, some oak, maple, mahogany, popular, yellow pine, all sorts of cool stuff.

Mostly local wood to you...

My local dump area won't let me in though. Even the transfer stations (due to potential liability) so I just check while driving...sidewalk and construction areas may yield some interesting wood [;)]
 
Mostly trash cans and scrap bins of local woodworkers but have reci=eived gifts of generous members.
Those are "special" just waiting for the "right idea" to showcase them.
 
2-90%, 4-5% and 6-%5. Just got a Sycamore tree that I am turning some 14" bowls out of. I have some of it in a spalting brew and some I am turning green. I also got a bunch of walnut and some english oak. I have enough now to keep me turning this winter.
