Online white oak lumber southwest/cal

[pablanche]

Hi,

I am looking for an online seller of white oak lumber in the southwest. Who can you recommend? (Bell forest is out of stock)

I am looking for 100 brdft of flat saw, 4/4, rough, FAS, 12' long, boards up to 10" large.

I am living in Tucson, the choice is very limited. I am looking for a mill in the southwest or California to limit freight.

Thanks,

Pierre

Woodworker's Source has a location in Tucson and they carry white oak.

You may have trouble finding the dimensions you want...12' long especially.  And 10" wide is considered premium width.  If you do find it, expect to pay a premium price.

You might try the St. George, Utah branch of Intermountain Wood Products. I'm not sure if they have the rough oak you want in stock, but maybe they can order it.

Thanks Eric.

I am very familiar with Woodworker source, and I am a rosewood club member. My problem is 1st they only carry 10ft long boards for the moment, and 2nd they are planed at 3/4+1/16 which is a bit thin for my design.

After a little bit more research (a lot actually), I found a 2008 post in sawmillcreek.org about "Rough hardwood in Arizona?", giving the address of a few saw mills around Phoenix:

I contacted McKillican Phoenix which was really proactive and found me what I wanted. I will be delivered in 2 weeks and let you know if the lumber meet my expectation for the money.
