Just curious if any of you gewbs know someone that sells green cut oak lumber. I need to build some hand grabbing boxes for this year. Got to remove some of those big flathead'd crappie eaters from the rez. Last year, the majority of the flatheads had a 10-12 inch crappie in there gut.
Handgrabbin is some fun stuff too!:D I found a few numbers off the MS market bulletin that I plan to call but just curious if anybody knew somebody personally. Preferably close to Jackson.

There is a saw mill up around jay Okla.
Call your local Mississippi Forestry Commission office and ask them for info on sawmills in your area.
Theys a mill just north of canton ifn it's still open. It's just north of the store that sells good gizzards. It's just inside the city limits. Can't remember the name of it to save Dd's life.
Theys also one in Randolph ms. Just south west of pontotoc ms. C&S Timber. Theys a pallet mill in maben, ms that would sell ya some. Hudspeth wood products. Dewberry Sawmill is also there in maben.
James buntyn is in Union, Ms but o think he shut down.
Theys a mill in crystal springs that I think is a hardwood mill. Copiah lumber.
I'll think of a few more later on.
King Lumber in Forest but don't know if they saw hardwood or pine.
There are 5 sawmills at Randolph.....all run by Amish. Thats where I buy different hardwoods to air dry and then use for my wood working projects.
C&S ain't Amish. They saw some lumber for the Amish.Quote:

DG try Brandon cash & carry also, they should be pretty close to you
Thanks fellas...
Triton - That one sounds like a gun shop! ha. I will try to look them up. They would be real close.

DG, call Cypress Depot in Ridgeland and ask for Johnny Gooch. Tell him I told you to call. He has the sawmill in Canton that Minner is talking about. He has cypress or oak. Cypress houses last longer
Thanks for the info. I will give him a call. In the past I have gotten scrape wood from a couple fence companies in town like JefCoat and used it to build boxes. It was mostly cedar and cypress since it was old tear down fence. I tell ya.. It is hard to sink and hard to keep down. The first big storm we get all the boxes were missing. Ya know those storms with the 40-60 mph straightline winds.... They get em everytime. We put over 400 lbs of dirt/sand on top of each 4'x3' box. So much weight you could not even pick them up if you tried and they still didn't stay down. The waves in the 4'-5' water reak havoc on those boxes.
If my theory is right, green oak has a density of about 0.98 and the density of water of course is 1. So it shouldn't take much to sink it if I could find some. If not, the density of dry oak is about 0.7 and pine is 0.4 which would at least take 25% less weight to keep it down. I know I am getting kinda technical on all this but that is the way my mind works...

Hey G!!!! Is he allowed to get that teknikal on here?
Why not just build 'em out of DD. There ain't nothing more dense in all this here world.

Doesn't alcohol scare fish away like gasoline? I don't think DD would work very well if that was the case...
