[Wild Turkey]

Friend needs 600-1000 bf of Ash lumber, 8" wide or better, that will finish sand to 1"+.

Not having much luck in Louisville area.  

Anyone have any sources that aren't too far from Louisville?

Back home in North East PA where I use to live I had 2 guys I would buy ash from. I still have some that I brought down to SC. It's a great wood to work with. In 2015 I was paying $1.50 to $2.00 a bdft. I'm sure it's double that these days. In our woodshop here they get $4.28 bdft for 4/4. 

I found these places and its about 100 miles away. You may already know it. I have no idea of the quality. Good luck.

Too bad you aren't closer to Niagara Falls.  I have at least 1000 bf of clear white ash ready to go into my drier.

Hardwood Specialities in Lexington would also be a good place to look, assuming you haven’t done so already.

Hardwood specialties usually has a lot of ash. I’ve bought some on 2 occasions, but usually 8/4.

There used to be a guy near you called mcinturf sawmill in Lawrenceburg, but I’ve heard a rumor that he is no longer cutting wood. Then of course there is Bagdad sawmill. Good luck!
