If you are anywhere near the western end of the UP, I can give you the names of several small mills that should be able to get you what you need, but I don't thinkthey will ship.

Other than that, check with your county agricultural agent for small mill operators. East of the Mississip you should be able to find someone to cut white cedar for you.

Al,
Unfortunately I live in South Texas and we don't have any sawmills in our area that processWhite Cedar. My wife and I own a small Bed & Breakfast and have some customers from MN that come down 3 - 4 times per year. His job takes him all over MN & WI. Perhaps he could pick some up for me. Any names would be appreciated.
Thanks, Teal

Try this source.....I haven't bought from him because I have my own local supplier, but most folks who deal here are very satisfied and recommend the firm.

Cumberland is about 65 miles NE of Minneapolis/St.Paul and just west of Rice Lake, Wisconsin.

I'll try and get you a Minnesota supply address tomorrow.
