Local Saw Mills near South Carolina

[Tim Boger]

Greetings Group,

Perhaps some of the members here have had the opportunity to purchase domestic hardwoods from "Local Saw Mills" and would be willing to share the contact info. with me.

I'm new to SC and have heard rumors about lumber selling for as low as $1.00 a bd.ft for rough sawn Red Aromatic Cedar. I'm currently looking for 2-400 bd.ft of Cherry for several home projects.

I intend to pick up the material myself as compared to shipping, I don't mind a couple of hundred miles one way.

I sure would appreciate any suggestions / leads you folks can provide.

Thanks ... Tim

Tim,

Check out the Misc section of the SC Farm Bulletin at:

http://www.scda.state.sc.us/marketbulletin/marketbulletin.htm

It lists several suppliers of cedar lumber. I have gotten some great cedar from Andy Morris in Pomaria who has an ad in the bulletin.

Von - I'm not looking for cedar but I am always looking for another lumber source to beat the prices around Charleston. I go to the north part of the state every other week.

Hey Jim ... Great Tip! Amazingly I have met Andy Morris and he does indeed offer great Cedar at more than reasonable prices.

I hunted through the SC Farm Bulletin page your link sent me to and I was not able to find a "Misc" section. I'll try againn in a bit, perhaps I simply missed it.

Thanks again Jim

You also want to check out www.woodfinder.com (http://www.woodfinder.com). Just put in your zip code, the distance you want to travel, the wood you want, etc. They don't list everybody that sells wood, they charge to be listed, but do usually come up with enough sources to make it worth while.

Regards, Joe

Hi Joe,

Thanks again to all that have responded so far, I really appreciate it.

Over on the North Carolina Woodworker site there are links to many suppliers and sawyers. Membership used to be NC residents only, but is open to all now.

I would also like to know about the mysterious mill referenced above. I am interested in some cedar for outdoor furniture.

The post about the farm bulletin was also helpful.

I use Roy's in Lugoff. They have always been great people.
Price is questionable.
But would like to know more myself. Bob
