possibilities:

Come on over to Bedford County and drive some of the back roads. When
you see a sawmill, stop and ask. Some sell to everyone, some don't.
Some have only red oak, others do only pine or tulip poplar or....
You can pretty much the same in any local county, including Campbell
and Amherst if you want to go in that direction.
Good luck.

The DC area is outside his 100 mile radius, for which we're both
thankful. DC is nearly 200 miles north-north east from my front door,
and L'burg is about 30 miles east.

Sorry about that. I read Lynchburg and thought Leesburg.

Try Steve Wall lumber in Mayodan, NC. Just south of Martinsville, VA.
Check out their web site at:
http://walllumber.com/default.asp
It's about a 90 minute drive for me, but worth it. Good lumber, friendly
folk, and the prices are reasonable.

And if you want kiln- rather than air-dried or green, there is a large
mill (sorry, don't recall the name any longer) in Buena Vista...
