Snowdog I'm an old sawmill hand yes chew and all haha. I look for some one with variety if you have a planner you are in like flint. And if they have a kiln you are a lucky man. The mills I deal with down here in the my area are far and few on different varieties of wood due to the tornado that went through are area right now white pine is the going wood. But I tell you right now that sawmill lumber at least here is a true dimention when I get my rough cut it's about an 1 1/8" thick so you can plan it to a real inch. Went to home depot for the price 3 boards I can bring home a truck load. For what it's worth there. In fact I bought oak red and white for a hundred board ft for 75.00 he had no kiln so I just piled it up for a while and checked it with my moister meter once in a while to check so that it would not warp on me. If you have any more questions pm me.
