S4S, Flooring T&G

[Walloonwoodsman]

Anyone in Northern Michigan offering planing/molding services. Currently looking to have rough cut, kiln dried 1"x6"x12' ash turned into T&G flooring with relief cuts on bottom. I can also refer customers looking for S4S, T&G, flooring, etc. Located in Petoskey.

Welcome to the Forestry Forum. 
Cannot tell from your message if you are searching for such a service, or you are offering a service. ???

Sounds to me like he wants his material machined.  He's specifying the material size so it makes sense that's what he has.   I only know the guy I use here near Indy.

Have you done internet and facebook search for custom flooring manufacturing?  Where locally do the professionals buy framing lumber, trusses, trim etc?  Go there and ask them.  Now, you don't want a big guy, because they won't want to mess with you.  YOu want a smaller guy that will do custom work.  The guy I use has a woodmizer, a kiln, he logs too, and does the custom machining.  He has a few guys working in the shop and I'm assuming a few when he has logging jobs.  I use a different kiln than his because I've  dried more at once than his kiln will do.  He uses his kiln to steadily produce his own product to keep in stock or for custom flooring orders.

Red oaks lumber sold out a few years back. They had some really nice equipment that I would like to have gotten. Main one being a gang SLR.
