If your looking for a honest wood supplier who owns a saw mill then this guy is it.
His name is Bob Hughes located in Geneva, Fl. (Orlando area.)
His price listing is very reasonable & can be found at Olegeneralstore.com.
I have personally dealt with this gentleman & he is one of a kind.
Totally forgot about this place until I started digging in my supplier books.

Thanks for the info,Johnny. I live down in South Florida, but I get up to my sister's in Clermont once in a while. It seems a trip over to visit Mr. Hughes might be worthwhile.

Johnny -

I agree 100%. Bob is a great guy and a friend to woodworkers.

Here is a link to a story in the Orlando Sentinel about him and his new river recovered cypress operation. He also saws a lot of locally harvested unique tree species, plus he imports wood.

The vertical grain old growth pine for the aprons on this table came from Bob's sawmill.
