Wood 101: Answering all the questions about hardwoods and wood for woodworking. Where I buy my wood, what woods I use, color change in wood, tips about working with exotic woods and much more.
It would be awesome if you could share where you buy your wood in the comments. My hope is that this can be an ongoing landing page and resource for woodworkers to find tips on where to buy wood.
