- Every species of wood can have varying colour and grain pattern. Different woods are used to create variations (shading) of the artwork.
- Cost can vary tremendously within the same species of wood: be it rough sawn or S4S (Smooth 4 Sides), be it clear or knotty, be it narrow or wide, be it a “regular” pattern or a rare grain pattern,: for example regular maple versus bird’s eye maple. Fluctuations in price from the wholesaler and in turn my supplier can vary monthly. Cost listed is based on an average. I am fortunate to have a supplier, Windsor Plywood (on Pembina) in Winnipeg. They carry the following exotic woods as well as many others. They can be reached at (204) 269-9114.
- Average cost is given in board feet (144 cubic inches: = 1 board foot) Example: 2″ x 6″ x 1 foot (12 inches) = 144 cubic inches or 1 board foot.
