Those Lodgepole pine panels are great - - and save a lot of time. You just gotta look at em all and take the best ones.
I buy those all the time. Got it down where I can break one down into all the sizes I need with virtually no waste, except for the screw ups on my part. Saves a lot of prep time. The 48" can be divided into most any size and the project can be resized to fit the blank. That size is great for laying out either a big cut or nesting a bunch of smaller cuts and cutting them all at once.
Menards has those panels up to 36" wide and up to 6' long and a true 1 1/8 thick in pine and spruce, as well is round blanks up to 36" in diameter.
