Well I have been stocking up on some box making wood so that when and if I ever get done with this kitchen remodel I can get to work. I like to try different timbers that I haven't worked with before. Mix of 3/8 and 1/2 stock. Curly maple is pretty common but I like to buy it when I can find it and I love it on a box.

RMaxa, wish I had a good one close buy. These are pricey as well... wood is these days and he doesn't have it often.

Hi Joe thanks. I have no bandsaw here. I get it from a guy on Ebay who sells it every now and then, forget the username off hand. I buy it in book matched pieces like that.

Hi Dave! The boards are all right at 4 inches wide, some a little wider, some a little smaller. They are between 20-24 inches long. Definitely enough to make a nice box and do some grain matching. I probably will get the kitchen done just in time for the garage to be real nice and hot and muggy .....LOL.

Hey thanks for that link Mike. Have you ordered from them before? Is there stuff straight and flat? I need that as as I have no jointer or planer. Thanks again for the link!

Corey,

You don't need a jointer or planer.... get yourself a couple of good hand planes and problem solved :sold:

Hey Bob, I have done that and it is something I don't relish, or mustard...or.... OK OK...

If I buy wood and the guy tells me it is flat and straight, it better be flat and straight I have had very good luck with:
