Hardwoods, Inc. of Alabama used to be located in Jemison (to your
south), but their Web site says they've relocated to Alabaster.

In their old location they sold to the public. I don't know whether
that changed with their relocation.

The folks at Woodcraft in Pelham might be able to suggest some other
local sources.

BTW, this is off topic, but there is a great woodworking club in B'hmg and
an outstanding woodturning club. In fact the turners meet this Saturday at
9:00AM in Homewood, just up the road from you. If you are into turning at
all, they will be giving away some Bradford Pear that was harvested off the
median of US 31 in Hoover this Saturday.

Here is the website
