When I lived in NE IN, I got all my hardwood at Holmes in Columbia City. They had everything I could imagine, plus stuff like grey elm, sassafras, and more. Shipped large volumes of fabulous looking cherry and maple and walnut to places like the Netherlands, Germany, and Japan. Saw log trucks carrying Iowa walnut lined up at the gates in the mornings, loads of container trucks going out each day.
Where did you come by your stock?
Are you in contact with some of the mill shops around Grabill, run by the guys in beards and staw hats, as a source for your planing and milling?
