Try Columbia Train Master.

He's on eBay.

I have purchased a number of his loads in N Scale and have been very pleased.

I have both Columbus Train Master & just got a bunch from Hopper Hill Hobbies on Ebay.
Hopper Hill does full load Center Beam & partial that are done very nice.
You have to click on the type of load you are looking for to the lumber mill name.

I have recently purchased some wrapped "bunks" (individual stacks of lumber, wrapped) from Columbus Trainmaster and they are very nice.

I make my own.

The sawmill at Chippewa Falls exclusivly makes barrel staves for the cooperage at Wabasha.

Logs are cut on a unique cylindrical, rather than a flat, saw - giving them a circular shape when assembled into a finished barrel.

The mill counts them into bundles of 19 and ties them together as a kit for loading into a boxcar.

Here we see a few kits on the loading dock that just couldn't be fitted into that boxcar.

I used to build the Jaeger loads at work as I had a late shift and it got slow. I sometimes had
some extra wrapped loads from these depending what I built them for, and used those as scenery
at my lumber yards and sawmills. Don't know if you can still buy new from Walthers. but they are
on FleeBay I met the guy one time at s train show and got a couple of his custom built loads too. 
very cool.
