    Looks like Alan bailed out of the thread.

    Armstrong in Highland, my place of choice being 10 minutes away, is not a sawmill. They buy in bulk from sawmills. But they will mill the rough sawn stock if you wish. You won't believe how much work (and shavings) you can save by having them mill the stock to your desired thickness for almost nothing. They have giant jointers, planers and wide belt sanders as well as a molder with more than 1500 patterns available. Good stock of many domestic and exotic woods. A great bunch of guys, mostly Armstrong family. But come with cash or a checkbook, they don't take plastic. And if you come at noon you will have to wait until lunch is over, although you can pick over the stock while you wait. I have been to Johnsons in Charlotte (which is a sawmill) and the pricing advantage over Armstrong more than paid for my gas, but the trip was just not worth it, other than to browse their tool store.

    I use LL Johnson for nearly 20 years. Great guys and I have never been disappointed with their quality. Been around since the turn of the century in east central Michigan.

    There is a saw mill near Whitmore lake. John's. or something like that.

    There's also Hickory and Oak out in Decatur. He usually makes a spring lumber run to SE Michigan organized in conjunction with SE Michigan Woodworkers. Also a couple mills in NW Ohio that advertise periodically on Craigslist but I don't know anything about them.
