Title: Places to find good wood
Post by: beaverwoodworking on April 15, 2013, 04:39:08 pm: I am having issues getting my hands on some decent wood to use on my scroll saw around my area. I have checked out the local hardware stores and lumber yards, but unless you want to cut oak, pine, or popular you are out of luck. Any suggestions of an online dealer?

I appreciate anyones help

He or she may have scrap they will give you, and they can give you their supplier list for hardwood plywood. If you return some of the scrap as gifts they may add your order to theirs so you can get a bulk contractor discount. But don't become such a pest you interfere with their business.
