My dad knew a lot of farmers that were always clearing trees. We'd go cut down trees for them, and whenever we found Walnut, Maple, Cherry, or a decent Oak, we'd cut it down into 12' lengths, or whatever was straight. The local sawmill would trade dad some of the wood to saw it into lumber for him. We'd air dry it. We always had a stack of nice stuff to play with.One problem I have is getting decent material. Nothing but big box left around here with the twisted green boards.
