HD meaning Home Depot? I Wonder if you could buy some from a local Lumber Maker? Wouldn't that be nice. There is a fellow beekeeper that also cuts his own lumber on a channel (Fall Line Ridge). He has some interesting videos.
When I still lived in Charlottesville, I had 3 local mills including Northland Forest products. Unfortunately, where I live now, I am hard pressed to find a mill. AAMOF I am an hour from a decent wood working store, and most places that sell real wood are more than 30 miles away and only open during banker's hours. :)
I would love to have access to properly dried (kiln or otherwise) rough lumber. But at $1 / BF the HD stuff is acceptable.
