The #1 you can buy wouldnt even be #3 20 yrs ago. All the real clear stuff gets exported

I'll give you most of it gets exported but not all. there is a local mill up here that makes it to order. maybe all the big mills send it directly over sea but I know at least one smaller mill that doesn't. personaly I prefer #2 as I like knots that give the wood a rustic look.

Small private mills will do small runs of #1 & select, for a cost, I agree. But any of the larger mills will be exporting..

#2 is great for certain things, but #1 & sel have the straight grain that I need to keep 8x8 posts that are 20'+ long straight. You will get more twisting & bending with #2 & below.
