Get out of town and locate small to midsize sawmills. I live in
western Wisconsin and there is a sawmill about every ten miles or so.
Maybe there's a newsgroup for sawmillers and or hobby sawmills. Our
closest sawmill buys everything in the woods, finding something to do
with it.
That was about circular saw mills. There are also lots of band saw
mills around. Most of them around here are part-timers, but they saw
whatever comes their way, too.

This question pertains to what's available from North American wood
dealers. This may well be a naive question, but why is it that
there doesn't seem to be much available in terms of other North
American trees such as Elm, Sycamore, Willow, Birch (not counting
plywood), Beech, etc.?

Or to phrase the question a different way, why is Cherry, Walnut, Oak,
Poplar, Maple, etc. what's predominately available?
