When I saw the first image I thought, "Damn, that's one big-ass burl."
The caption described it as huge. I beg to differ. It's one big-ass
burl...

There is a sawmill in Courtland, between Mankato and New Ulm that will
sell to individuals. They have a lot of local hard woods. I buy most
of my wood there. Either rough or finished. Cherry, Oak, Walnut,
Birch, aspen, and others. Is that "in the neighborhood"?

Is that Minnesota Valley Forest Products Mill?
It's a bit of a drive, but it might be worth checking out.

I don't know about price, but is Youngblood Lumber (used to be around
Broadway and Central) still around?
There are lots of small sawmills over here in western Wisconsin.
Schmitt Timber in Spring Valley, Wisconsin comes to mind. 715-778-5533.

Alas, Lake Elmo's hardwood store has closed. It was my favorite by
far. Youngblood's is still here.

Funny~My husband used to buy about 2 million ft a year for Frank and
Mary. We kept 5 crews going full time. Finally twisted in about 94.
Jim said his "education" cost a fortune. But, there was always a good
meal involved on scale day. Frank loves to eat! Jana
