My father in law and I have recently started making log furniture and have been practicing just using the cedar fence posts available at different places like Tractor Supply Co. We're really wanting to expand a little bit and start building with other woods.

I've been trying to find someone in Ohio who can provide me with logs of different types of pine for working (stripped or not, doesn't matter). Is anyone out there aware of a lumber or log distributor in Ohio (preferably central ohio, but really anywhere in the state) who might be willing to sell some logs/lumber?

I'd love to work with some knotty pine or lodgepole pine, but I'm not holding my breath on that one in Ohio

Anyone else out there make log furniture? Any tips they might want to share? We've got a couple tenon cutters a other little items, but we're really just jumping into it. I'll see if I can post a pic of the first head board we did (need to get it off my phone).
Thanks!
