thanks for any help in advance

thanks for any help in advance It's called "rough sawn" and you need 155' "lineal" Post your location and someone may be able to help you. Red oak (more plentiful) can have some lighter phases, so it may be an option. When we are using red oak, we have to segregate it. Vertical grain, flat grain, reddish and whitish.

I’m located in NY but if I have to make a road trip or have it shipped it is fine by me. I’m putting down some live sawn white oak flooring and the mill in PA doesn’t have/make anything 14 wide and 14 long. I’d entertain some reclaimed barn siding as well but width on that is a challenging as well. I’m about a month into this and searching daily.

May want to look into biscuiting and edge gluing some. That width will be tough to find and getting 4/4 that wide is sometimes prone to cupping.

About 3 dozen yards and 2 dozen mills as far out as Wisconsin ( 800 miles away).

I would search on Facebook Market place and Craig’s list. I can get red or white oak, flat sawn, rift sawn, curly quarter sawn, 4/4, 8/4, etc. any time I need it here in the central Kentucky area. We have several lumber mills, the best one being up in Sellersburg, Indiana.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

There are some Amish communities in New York. If there are any around where you live try one of them. I made my wife chicken coop out of Amish sawn oak, hickory, and poplar. I'm in western PA. We're surrounded by Amish

I retired from the sawmill in Galeton, PA. They cut White Oak random widths and lengths and whole sale it. They do custom orders sometimes. 14 inches wide may take a while. As I said generally they are a whole sale operation that cuts random widths and lengths. The packs are genrally 4ft, 5-6ft, 7-8ft, 9-10ft, 11-12ft, 13-16ft. So 14wide by 14 foot is in there, but they would have to be ordered beforehand, approved, and then pulled from the sort. If serious give me a pm for contact info.

Contact Brookville Lumber in Brookville PA.
Or try Mike Morgan (YouTube Outdoors With the Morgan’s) just North of Pittsburgh.
Or the gang from Lumber Capital Log Yard (near Lock Haven, PA)
Or Adam at (YouTube Hometown Acres)
