I'm in California and need to find a source for kiln dried maple stock to use for mold making plugs (the positive a silicone mold gets cast around). I want maple because it's typically been very easy to work with and sands out very smooth. The plugs get taken all the way to a mirror polished finish, so the smoother the wood, the less work in finishing. I need it in 2"x2" and 3"x3". Bigger than that I know kiln drying is not really an option, but I am hoping to find 3" because I really prefer to use solid wood instead of glue-ups. If you know of other woods that would work as well, I'd love that info too!
