   Hi BBI'm in Salem Oregon.I'm hoping not to drive more than an hour to find a sawmill with rough sawn. I know Crosscuts in Portland has some rough sawn but it is usually 12/4 or 16/4 I was hoping for 8/4 or 4/4 optionsThanks for any info, Phil

   Phil,The ones others have mentioned are good. There are several "closet" sawyers just east northeast and east of you, also some "yards".
   Check out craigslist and wood finders. Other than one near me, back in the piney woods, there isn't anything on the coast.
   Some of those that have misc. pieces for sale on craigs, I've found they are actually the inheritors of mills and yards and are liguidating them at bargin prices. Pick up a lot of Claro Walnut from such places. Some are out by Silverton and a few up toward Scott's mills. One near Lyons. You will find a better selection of maples over your way.
   Used to be two great places in Salem, by the airport but they went belly up.Boiler

   You should give craigslist a try. There are usually several small time sawyers selling local lumber advertising in the Portland area. I have stumbled on a few good deals this way.

   Good Luck,

   Give Hardwood Components in Mehema a call, they may sell you rough lumber. Woodcrafters on Commercial had rough lumber at one time but I haven't been there in years so I'm not certain.

   Found this site for local (portland) reclaimed lumber you might be interested in.

   http://urbanhardwoodrecovery.com/forsale.html

   Also besides Crosscut try these guys there in the same general area.

   http://www.gilmerwood.com/

   In Jefferson there is: http://www.nwtimber.com/  Really nice figured wood but pricey!

   Hope this helps.
