Union City is 5000 Pop. on the east central boarder of IN and OH.
They sell as little as one board or by the truck load.
The wood is kiln dried. The 50 cent wood is up in about 1/4th of the wood display areas. You just pick up what you want and plop it on a scales. They have lot of different kinds of wood and some that's not in their literature. They don't have pine or cedar. I don't think you would get the 50 cent wood by the truck load. I believe you get just what is available in this one area, but there is a good selection of American wood, I would say from 2 ft pieces to maybe 7 ft. On my last boat I bought some Bass wood, greenish Popular and Walnut.
