Are there any basswood trees around Greene county? I'd like to make some streachers. If not where can someone purchase the lumber?

all over indiana. we logged some and had them sawn by the local portable mill with a band saw and made our own adjustable stretchers. it was fun and a great deal. I`d imagine you could call any mill and by pre cut basswood or custum order a log from them and have it sawn. we air dried a year after sawing.

Sure can't get it at the lumber yards-Lowes/Home Depot. It's a special deal like the guys say above. Though I wouldn't know a bass wood tree if one fell on me.

all the saw mills have a few laying around. it`s not a high dollar tree so it comes in with loads of other more valuable stuff. we can always whack one down and drag it up if everything bombs on you.

I'll check with local sawmill here in linton. I need to get it rough sawn so it can start drying. Could I finish the birds in mid August? Would lumber be dry enough by then? Thsnks

I don't currently have any basswood logs on the yard. If you don't have any luck with your local mill, pm me and I will watch for some.
