Material: Exotic hardwoods in Minneapolis/St. Paul area

Looking for a lumber source (retail or wholesale) in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN area that has exotic hardwoods. I am familiar with Lake Elmo Lumber and Plywood which has lots of good mahogany and a half dozen other species (also the best source in the region for marine ply). I remember that there was another place, seems like it was Jones Lumber or something, and I recall it being on Kasota something or other, but that was 25 years ago and those brain cells don't function like they used to, so I may have this all wrong. Anyhow, I plan to be in the area the end of next week and thought I might spend Friday afternoon "browsing" for nice wood. Anyone have any clues? Thanks, Grant
