mtaylor Posted February 8, 2021 Share #4 Posted February 8, 2021 There is a caveat to these lists.... the wood market has changed radically. Many sites no longer handle certain woods. If you find one overseas, getting it imported your country many not be possible. For example, I can locate milled boxwood in Europe but can't import it to the States. On the hand, I can buy billets of unmilled wood here.
