I am working on restoring a coffin plane of some sort after reading Bob's posting. I am at the point I need to glue a piece of beech to the sole. The problem is I don't have any beech and in my area I can't buy any beech. It is a beech of a problem. I only need a small amount but don't know of any place I can get it. Any suggestions I know I could use something else but then it would not match which I want
