Ken, there is a rumor flying around Portland that one of our major hardwood sources is going to open a branch in the Tri Cities. This could work out well for you...

Ken you can also try some alder. It grows along a lot of streams I've fished in Idaho. Maybe you can find some of that to play with. At least I think it's alder. Grows in clumps and has reddish bark.

There's a lot of what's locally called "tack alder" where I elk hunt. Nasty stuff....get's cursed a lot! I've yet seen any big enough to turn, however!

Ken you could make a couple of these. The biggest one is 2" in diameter and 6" tall. Before Andy asks' their supposed to be mushrooms, not street lamps.
