Looking for a small amount of locust lumber for a decorative grape arbor. (4) 4×4. some 2×6 and some 1x. Rough is fine. Anyone know of an outfit in NH/VT area that has some?
Thanks,

Great source – on the Mass/VT border
I have used them several times for decking and a high drive barn repair project. Those are black locust plates under Tamarack planking. The owner requested I layer water and ice shield on top.

You can tell the owner of A Black Locust Connection that I referred you all.
