I've spent a bundle of moolah lately for hard maple, red oak and poplar. Buying from Frank Paxton Lumber Co. in Cincinnati. I asked about rough sawn lumber but the savings just wasn't enough to justify the extra labor. I'd have had to buy 500 board ft. to even get any savings. What are some good sources to get ahold of some decent rough cut hardwoods for cheap. I like to doing the work but it sucks to pay those primo prices for wood that still needs quite a bit of work. Would a sawmill be the best option? Any other ideas?
