   Dear Re,
   I am from around Washington, DC so I don't know your area. My suggestion is just to get on Google, and type in something like
   "buy hardwood Idaho,Washington and Oregon" or put in a city name in the place of those state names. Try some different word combinations. Try the word lumbermill in the phrase. Be creative. After a few minutes, I'll bet you'll find a bunch.

   If you try this and cannot find anything, let me know, and I'll do it for you. All I would need would be the names of the Cities that you are near.

   Have fun.

   A bit of a trek from where you describe, but if you might check out Jensen Hardwood Lumber Company, 312 Artesia Avenue in Walla Walla. I thought prices near home (in Portland, OR) were a bit better, but my relatives nearby (Pasco, WA) shop there often and have made some nice projects with the wood.

   I live in Western WA.  Two or three great hardwood places in Seattle area, but that's a crazy-long drive for you.  I'd suggest that you look up cabinetmakers in the phone book and give 'em a call.  Although they probably buy more plywood than anything, they still might know of some hardwood sources.
