Holly Lumber Source

Anyone have a good source for some holly lumber? The wife wants me to make a picture frame, wants it "white" but not painted, and is really liking the clean look of holly without the blue/gray stain. So I don't need anything super wide, 3-4" would be perfect. I thought as a last resort that ebay would have lots of options, but unfortunately it is lacking short of a bunch of mill run stuff with too much staining.
Thanks all, Steve

Sorry--I'm located in Dallas. Due to the young kids, I have not had a lot of time to do woodworking or visit the Forum. The old forum used to list our location, and I had not noticed that it wasn't listed here, so that's a big loss of functionality unfortunately.
$6.95 seems really cheap. Good quality holly? Does your local guy do any shipping for small orders? Cheers, Steve

I was just at Hearne Hardwoods two weeks ago and they had quite a few holly boards I saw on their racks. Again, not at all cheap, but it looked to be quality stock. I think their price list on the above link has it for $30/BF.

http://www.rarewoodsusa.com/ has just about any wood you need and ships. They have over 500,000 board feet.

He does not ship either, sorry. It appears the other sources listed are your best bet.
