I like grabbing the trunks of the smaller decorative trees that people usually just throw away. Some of that wood is awesome for various types of projects, but isnt commercially available because the trees arent prolific.
Things like: Dogwood, Mulberry, Buckthorn, Black Locust, Catalpa, Apple.
Here is an example of one I got lucky on. This was a 7" branch of maple I scavenged and had a friend cut up for me.
