Wood slice's

Not sure were to post this but this looks like the most likely. First question are there any SMC members with a sawmill here from AZ? Second I'd like to know what species of wood when cut in a slice or cookie about 1 to 2" thick is least likely to split or at least not split really bad. Third were could I get some cookies cut say about 6 to 12 inches in dia.?
Thanks for your replies.
