I have been thinking about making a set of wood building blocks for my nephew because they want too much money for them in the stores but I need to find a good deal on some wood. Most of them seem to use Hard Maple or Rubberwood. The blocks are 1.5" thick and 2.75 wide. I found some Maple that is 1.75 x 3 for $.25 an inch. I think the Rubberwood should be cheaper but I can't find a source for it online. If any one has a suggestion for some other type of wood that would cost less and still be durable with out any finish I would love to hear an argument for it.
