Hey fellas!
So, I am looking to go into the next step of my woodworking hobby, graduating from decks and renos and the more construction side of things, into doing some more precision woodworking.
I am going to start with the basics like boxes, butcher blocks, cutting boards etc...things I can cut my teeth on and learn. As such, I am going to need better woods than the lumber I get from Home Depot and the like. But I also have no business buying large slabs of wood either as my ability to resaw things is very limited at the moment. So I am hoping that someone here knows where I can go get some decent hard wood cutoffs for cheap and in a variety of woods. I am obviously not too fussy on the species of wood as pretty much anything is going to work. Ideally, I would love to get my hands on some hickory, maple, mahogany, cherry, even some purpleheart. Also, would love to get some spanish cedar too. I know I can goto places like windsor plywood, but like I said, I am definitely not ready for 4/4 or 8/4 slabs yet.
