Looking for a Logger

[SW_IOWA_SAWYER]

Would anyone have a contact for a logger in Minnesota. I am trying to aquire a few Butternut logs for a surprise for my BIN the woodcarver. I just want to buy the logs and cut them on my mill.  ???
Thanks

If you don't have any luck right away here, try calling your County Forester.  He could probably put you onto someone.

Try calling Mid-West Walnut in Council Bluffs,

They may have a couple logs laying around.

Butternut is a rare find on the East side of Iowa :(

Tried Midwest Walnut no go. :'( Lots and Lots and Lots and Lots of Walnut stacked in real big piles. ;D I am thinking someone in Minnesota may know where I can obtain some.  :P Much of it is suffering from a canker that apparently kills it.
I do appreciate the suggestion about MWW ;)
I have contacted MN DNR perhaps they can help

We did saw some for a local logger 3 years ago. Sawed @
1 1/8" and Kiln dried. It went to his place, and I bet it's still there.

Not sure what thickness you want but it's an option.

He might have a log, but if he does be ready to pay
"The Kings Ransom"

Call 7am or you'll get the machine.


Another thought is the Amana Forestry department.

They have 8000 acres by us.

We're scraping the bottom of the barrel here, but we are closer then St. Paul. if someone has what you need.

I spent 20 years logging in MN. Never seen a butternut tree, but then I never logged any further south than Little Falls.
Good luck on your search.
