[AT] lots of saw mills

[Alan Nadeau]

Those are real nice looking boards, I'm guessing they are 1 1/2' thick in 
the rough?

I can find red oak at mills around here fairly easily but I would prefer 
white to get the longer life of the closed cells in that variety.  What I 
would really like is black locust but I have never seen any of that show up 
in log form, even though there is quite a lot of it standing in places.
