I don't know the Ohio area, others may comment. I source logs from the site and local loggers. A portable saw mill will know where to get logs. Does Ohio have any good trees to choose from?

Wranglerstar is a hobbyist. He has some good information, he also makes some outstanding mistakes which he passes along as fact. His joinery decisions are far from traditional. Try this guys stuff out, no advertising, or fancy editing just the dirt. I believe he is a Guild member, but won't be attending the conference this year due to agricultural reasons.
