I don't have 1 but I do know someone that does. I'd prefer the walnut and found a place in east texas that has kiln dried and will cut to order.

you mean she wants a trestle style table?
Its easy to find google is your friend, you need it to be 6-8% mostiure check it buy a mositure meter. You should only pay around 6 bucks a board foot.

I have a full wood working set up and enjoy it but having it dimensioned would save a bunch of time.

I wish it was mine, my dad had some pecky cypress and made the kitchen cabinets doors at the camp with it. We found a 20ft cypress log at the camp that was sunken by our dock last year. It heading to mill next week to get cut in to boards.

There's a feller near Marksville that has sinker cypress and he cuts to order as well.

Another wood that you would really think about is pecan

It's extraordinarily heavy but I made my parents a table out of it several years ago and it turned out great.

Much cheaper than walnut as well.

You know there is a difference between sale and sell right?

Not sure why but this mistake chaps my arse more than anything on those facebook buy and sell groups. It is mind blowing to see all the people who cannot use sale and sell correctly in a sentence.

If it were me - I'd go find an old barn or warehouse building that's being torn down. Buy some of that wood and invest in a decent planer or find a shop that will let you plane that wood. You may even consider doing a tongue and grove kind of set up to help prevent warping.
