I am not a fan of laser cutting takes away of craftmanship and scrollwork and woodworking. Go to the stores and thats all you find there. I guess thats the age were in now. I did a show yesterday and myself and another person did real woodwork and a lot of oldtimers are gone.
I been getting my Birch from Woodpeckers on Amazon , I use mostly 1/8" amd 1/4" I buy 12x24"which I don't need it much bigger, right now it is a little expensive and good quality.
