Source for cypress?

Greetings All,
I am in the middle of a major remodel and would like to put T&G
cypress on one of the smaller walls, about 70 sq. ft. And hopefully use
the same material for door and window casings. I really like the
vertical grain clear flooring that Goodwin sells, but wonder if I can
buy something similar (even if it's not river reclaimed) and mill it up
myself. Any ideas out there??? TIA, Mark

If you don't mind a little "road trip"... Hollingsworth Lumber, in
Russiaville, Indiana (some 30-40 miles NNW of Indianapolis), has cypress. Not
sure if they would have exactly what you're looking for, but Hollingsworth
carries good stuff at *very* reasonable prices. Might be worth a call.

The wife and I may go to Amish country, may be worth a little side trip.
Thanks Doug
