Scott,
Any chance you could become a supplier of Eastern White Pine or Sugar Pine?
Guys are starting to realize many of the great lures by Beachmaster, Musso, Pichney, and Gibbs were pine, thus demand for 6/4 - 8/4 clear, tight grain pine is rising.
Kind of tough to find it- big boxes don't carry it that thick, nor do most of the True Values, Aces, etc.. Saw mills that sell native lumber may have it, but often it sits stickered outdoors in the weather.
Just a thought,
Jon
