Look in your yellow pages, Find a fence company, go there.
Tell them you are a plug turner, explain what you do, and make an easy promise. tell them if they keep the scraps from square post White ceder, you will return with some plugs for the guy's in the shop.
I did this a while back and I now have more wood than I can turn in the next year. I have every thing from 2 1/2 X 2 1/2, up to 10 X 10.
All stacked on a full size pallet in my shop, 6 feet high.
What did I do to get them to save every cut off 2 feet long up to 6 footers? I gave them a dozen pencils and a couple dozen Hula Poppers.
White ceder makes awesome poppers, when it's sanded up to 220 grit in the lathe it's smooth as a babies butt.
I make swimmers with it too.
