Source for soundboard spruce

[Frank Weston]

Try Aircraft Spruce and Specialty or Wicks Aircraft Supply.  These are non
traditional sources for piano builders, but they deliver quality wood
quickly for a one-off or small run project.  They cut to about any
orientation, size and length you can imagine.  Prices aren't too bad.  Wicks
(618) 654-7447, Aircraft Spruce(800) 824-1930.  Both companies have web
sites.
