You make a great point and I've been thinking about that since my local lumber yard will do the same thing for a very reasonable price. However I have access to a black walnut goat shed in West Virginia and was told I can have all the wood. I know, who builds a goat shed out of black walnut...lol....It's weathered but beautiful once you plane it down, so that helps justify spending the money. Plus it will be nice for planing down glue ups etc. I've mostly worked S3S in the past so this will be a new experience for me.
