Morgan,

I can't recommend another source (unless you want to haul timbers
from Colorado). I'm using ACQ timbers 6x6 rough-sawn to border
a play area. 8-foot aspen timbers run about 18$ each, pine
are $22 each. Our local Home Depot says they won't be carrying
ACQ until the first of the year. Several local landscape
suppliers said their timbers were arsenic-free (and had been
told so by _their_ suppliers), but when I checked them, the
end tags said they were CCA-treated.
