Woodman FYI if you or any of the other guys are interested there is a small mill in Sheridan AR (Brown Millwork) that sells clear cyprus in lengths up to 32' with special order. They are only open M - F / 7 - 3. Phone # (870)942-5224

I hate those places, would much rather support the full service lumber yards and local small businesses.  Also realize that they (big box stores) store the wood on end instead of laying flat, so they add curves that were never there before.

I'd like to go back in time 10-15 yrs. around here to be able to do that again...

Wow, is it so bad in your area already that they have run all the full service yards out of business?  Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart and their relatives are killing this country.  Soon there will be no more service, no more real selection and no one will have a job with real benefits.

Unfortunately there are too few of the small guys still in business. Thankfully the economy is still strong enough here to support the smaller operations we still have. I just hope that continues.
