I'm still in the infancy of turning. (Got a lathe, got a few tools, still working on sharpening them). I'm looking to do spindles. It looks like I'm wanting to find either green wood or air dried wood to get started.

The question is, where do I find it? Lumberyards don't carry it (that I'm aware of). I'm in the suburbs of an urban area (Austin, TX).
The only "trees" in my yard I could/would cut down are Ash Juniper (locally called cedar).

Those of you who live in cities, where do you get your wood?
