Hardwood sources in eastern Iowa, western, Illinois.

[Lorax1]

My local mill suffered catastrophic fire last week so I don't have an affordable source now. I recently bought an Alaskan 24", but my inventory, what little there is of it, is still dripping wet.

Looking for sources in Quad City area which is eastern Iowa, western Illinois. Davenport, Iowa or Moline, Illinois area.

I live in the land of oak, maple, cherry and walnut so I refuse to believe I need to mail order to avoid buying Home Depot lumber. I was paying around $2.50 for oak and $4.00 for cherry for decent stuff.

Thanks all. I ended up buying a big load from Johnson Creek Hardwoods in Mount Carroll, IL. Very pleased with the quality, prices were reasonable.
