Well, I have noticed that Wild Wood Designs is about half the cost of Woodcraft. So I was wondering what other online sources you guys might favor more than the other. I can get tons of wood over 1/2", but unfortunately I don't have a planer and my re-sawing skills are weak. I guess now would be a good time to improve on that...and/or get a planer. Any tips?
Advantage Lumber in Buffalo, NY sells thin domestic and exotic lumber. Be advised that for shipping they have a minimum order requirement of $100 per item.
Not to my knowledge. I thought that's why joiners and thickness planers were invented.
I've just about quit Mason's and started taking my bidness to Hardwoods of Houston on W 34th. I tend to use baltic birch for drawer material and they do have 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 plus I believe they have 1/2 in 4X8 sheets but I may misremember that.

I can help you with some domestic wood types I have black walnut, butternut, cherry, basswood, red elm, grey elm, hackberry. green ash, blackash, white oak, red oak, white ceder, white pine, red pine, aspen, white birch, maple some spalted maple. black ash burl. just let me know I'll do what I can for ya. Need a little advance notice on it as most is just air dry and I'd need to put it in the kiln to finish it up. you can contact me thru.
Yeah but the OP was looking for a source for those thicknesses.
What kind of hardwood selection and or depth of inventory does Mason's have?
Occasionally Hardwood Products stocks 4x8 1/2" Baltic Like Birch, I suspect it is actually Appleply. From what I understand "ture" Baltic Birch only comes in 5x5 sheets.
Missed that.
Considerable, from rough blanks 8/4 and such to S4S 1X and 2X. They also have an in-house molding operation and a catalog of knives plus stock some standard profiles (crown, chair, cove and such) in a handful of species. But then, I believe Hardwoods of Houston does that, too.

Thanks for the input.
HofH used to stock profiles. Haven't been there in a couple of years. Leon, here's Mason's URL. They also have a place in Austin apparently.
Thanks Roy,
