I’m having a hard time locating this locally. I’m looking for some 10” 12” and 14” widths and either 3/4” or 4/4 in 10,12,and 14 foot lengths to wrap some beams. Need about 155’ linear.

​​​​​​​thanks for any help in advance
Tough to get around here. It all goes into whiskey barrels.

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.
How many lumber yards have you contacted?
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.
Jeremy could probably gets you whats you need...

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.
