A few yeas ago I found a source on the Creeek for 1/8" thick X 12" long X 5 1/2" wide hardwood (walnut, maple, mahogany). I looked back through prior posts, but do not find whre I got them from. Anyone have a source?

Unless you need a lot of it, when I need something like that, I just go to Rocklers or Woodcraft.

George Perzel is the guy. I've bought several orders of his wood and have been very pleased with it.

Another recommendation for Mr. Perzel here.
So how does his price (with shipping) compare to Rockler?

Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

You can never be too rich, too thin, or have too much ammo.
Rockler and Woodcraft tend to be at the high end for wood like that. I only use them if I want to actually see something first hand before buying. Or if I am caught by a lack of planning on my part.
I never did use George Pezel I am afraid. To be honest, I forgot all about him each time I got wood. (I now have a sticky on my monitor so I hopefully wont forget him) In those instances I used Ocoochhardwoods.com and found them reasonable. Certainly less than Rockler. As I remember now though, George's prices were better yet. Plus you are supporting a fellow SMC'er!! <grin>

We have a Macbeath's hardwood here in town, they have a few more places in California and one in Indiana-
I don't do much wood, the only thing I've ever bought from them is alder veneer to make business cards from,
but the place is impressive, and everyone I've ever steered to them has called me back to thank me, so maybe check them out...
