Im trying to locate a supplier who sells solid Basswood in pieces as thick as 16/4. I'm going to make a rocking horse pig for my wife because she went to Arkansas for college and she loves pigs. I'm going to glue up a bunch of pieces and carve it.
Aetna plywood doesnt have it in solid and Owl is a ripoff.
Anyone know of any other sources in chicagoland?
Thx!

Badger Hardwood in Walworth WI shows it on their website. Not quite Chicago, but close. It would be a nice drive north of the border in fall.

Mike,
If you go up to Badger, I'll warn you that they're not very big or easy to find. The first time I went there I drove right by them 2 or 3 times. But really nice people to deal with. I'm north of Milwaukee, so I don't get down there very often, but have been very happy whenever I have dealt with them.
