Re: Mississippi 44"
All right ya'll,
Here is the location of this mill with driving directions from the Dome
.
There are small mills like this all over the Southeast of the US of A.
A retired friend of mine follows the seasons in a camper. He once told me that he searches for cabinet shops, and furniture manufacturing shops in the areas that he camps. He said that he is able to get the wood for his campfires for little or nothing in most cases. Another old retired friend of mine who lived across from my mother-in-law made hardwood rockers, gliders, swings etc. He had lots of scraps that he used to burn in his fireplace. An artisan like him may be a source for some wood. (Except in NOLA) I think that all construction materials sold in the "Big Easy" must be treated due to Formosa termite.
Tu,
Even a rounded pickup load (about 1/2 cord) of split red oak, delivered, over here is about 100 bucks. These guys only have to drive about 10 country miles to deliver in most cases. They cut and split the trunks to get a quick load and leave another load of oven sized limbs on the ground. I try to find where they are cutting and scavenge behind them.
Next time that I go for lotto tickets (just across the MS/LA line) I'll bring you a pickup load.

I just realized I have not posted anything on your thread. Please allow me introduce myself. I am very impressed by your build. I really like your brick splits…... I hope to incorporate them on my dome enclosure dog house.
