Dale I think Bill Spurlock mentions in his article to make sure the grain is parallel with the long axis of the key. I used basswood on a set I did recently. I know that is often used. Some suggest maple, but Spurlock expressed some concern regarding potential noise with maple. Most True-Value hardware stores or any decent hobby shop will have a variety of craft wood of various species and thicknesses. MallWort might have it, but who would ever go there (ever wonder why you don't have a crarft store nearby?)?
