where do you get your wood

[skidmore]

Where do you get your wood for your carvings.? do you purchase on-line or do you have a local place. Thanks, Forrest Skidmore

im fortunate to have a couple of local places-- one is woodcraft shops-- a national chain and the other is a local carving shop-- but many buy from dale heinecke -- Heinecke Wood Products -- my experience with dale is superb-- and i know that feeling will be supported by many others. im sure you will hear from carvers in the SE with some local sources

I have a little bit of both. There is a wood shop in town that carries some small pieces of domestic woods but I find the wood I order online is of a better quality. I've also been known to buy whittling blocks when I go to Michael's Craft Store in Ottawa.

the only bad thing about Michaels craft Store is.........a piece of wood costing you + or - $7.00 at Heineche's wood ....will cost you $35.00 AT MICHAELS

Heineche for me. Love the place. Great service and great wood!

Hearne's Hardwoods in Oxford, PA. I am only about 80 miles away in MD so it is a nice day trip but you can order great stuff from the website. While you may pay more, everything is dried and he has over 100 wood species in stock!

Sometimes out of the woodshed.

Yep Heinecke is excellent....Brian on here sells some good basswood as well.....

Heinecke Wood Products for me. I've even ordered some through the mail. They have great wood and fast service.

I get all my walking stick stock and basswood locally but have ran up to Slim's Woodshed in Harmony MN. for butternut and to take a class. Slim is a good fellow to do business with and a fun teacher.
