Look under 'hardwoods' in the yellow pages.
Expect to pay a lot of $$.
You can also build it up as a box from 4/4 lumber. With corect grain choice and beveled joints it looks great.

Tried that 1st. I made calls as far away as 75 miles.
What I'm making is a head board to match a customers current bedroom furniture and he wants posts at least 5' high. He cuttently has a foot board with 4"x4"x4'. Can't locate anything longer then 4"x4"x4' and I don't want to try to join pieces for length.

Oops, I forgot that we LOVE delicata squash so I elminated one of the tomatioes and added delicata. (We're growing some tomaters in pots, too, so we'll have plenty.) So... here's one final change... bear with me. Thanks for your help and ideas. Delicata Squash---Grean Bean-----Nasturtium-----Cuke Nasturtium--------Marigold-------Marigold------Carrot Basil-------------Pepper---------Pepper--------Carrot Tomat-------------Carrot---------Basil--------Carrot One other question, since I'm doing only 1 square each of grean beans and delicata squash, will 1 plant be enough of each for a respectable harvest?

Looking for 3/4" x 4" red oak beveled plank

Search the internet for manufacturers of unfinished wood flooring and peruse their catalogs. Depending on how much you may need, most mills will run up anything you might want. If this is for a repair and you only need a few pieces, have your refinisher take 4-1/4" and rip it down to the 4" you need. Not a big deal...provided the person has the correct tools for the job.

How many asparagus plants in a 4 x 4 raised bed?

I sowed Mary Washington seeds in the ground about 6 weeks ago. They just started sprouting about a week ago. I planted them in 2 rows a foot apart and then a 2 foot row and then 2 more rows a foot apart. I planted them 6 inches apart in the row. Mary Washington seeds will grow male and female plants while most crowns are sold as mostly males. The males grow bigger sprouts and the females will produce seeds, which most don't want. So my theory is that this fall I'll know which are the females and I'll mark them. Next spring as the females sprout I'll harvest and eat the shoots and then remove them with a bulb planter. I also plan on keeping a few females to obtain seed in the future. I'll also find out if there really is any difference in shoot size. I've been told there isn't.

Check the ads in Fine Woodworking magazine...they usually have several suppliers of specialty woods and unusual sizes.

75 miles is nothing for good hardwood. I live in Northern VA and go to PA all the time.
Colonial Hardwoods is in Norther VA and has good wood (but moderately high prices). They will ship, but you will need motor freight (truck) for a large chunk of wood.

What exactly do you need? I might be able to find it and ship it UPS to you, if it's 6 feet or less. My company, not wood related, ships UPS daily.

In reply to Baymee: I'm looking for either 3 inch by 3 inch or 4 inch by 4 inch, 6 feet long (3"x3" or 4"x4" x 6')
oak furniture grade is prefered but will settle for something I can dress up. Oh by the way I'm orig from Hazleton & now retired in SC.

Would you like one solid piece or would 2X's work and you can glue them.

I would prefer solid pieces as it's almost impossible to hide the seams. I would like to know the total price as the customer might decide the price is too high. I'll need 2 ea.

Give me a few days. BTW, I am also a custom woodworker (avocation) of 30 years, so I know what to look for.

I can get your wood in oak, but the sawyer doesn't recommend it and really, neither do I. A close cousin, and much more stable, and similar in appearance, is ash. Non-pith cuts, kiln dried, will be a great substitute and are available. You can get air dried or green oak at a good price too, but even I wouldn't use it. Let me know.

OK, Here's the scoop. Clear ash, kiln dried, is $2 per bf. Oak, air dried or green, is $1.80.
