 Re: where is a good place to buy wood. All those suggestions look good. The professional woodcarver/furniture builder who is mentoring me (just retired, actually) got all of his walnut from a tree service. His supply lasted him for over 15 years - he had 3 trees! You may be able to find wood from a furniture builder nearby. I have picked up hardwood slabs and scraps, as well as aspen logs from furniture builders. Sure can't beat the price - I get this stuff out of their barrels at the end of the day for free. Sometimes they just leave stuff out and assume that people will just take the scraps - other times it's good to ask first. These guys have liability issues with people rummaging through their "trash". The aspen slabs are great for relief carving...  |

| Re: where is a good place to buy wood. Tuckaway Timber is another good source for northern-grown basswood and butternut. They have an ad in the current issue of WCI, page 95. They're really helpful and will size a piece for you to your dimensions. |

| Re: where is a good place to buy wood. http://www.joescarvingwood.com/ is also a good supplier in Northern Minnesota. I know of him and have heard good reports on him. I have emailed back and forth with him a few times and seems like a very nice fellow. I have not used him but then I have basswood right out my back door. Good luck with your search Gene
