    I get most of my wood from Woodcraft. Their prices are the lowest, but they usually have a pretty good selection. They have a store nearby and I like being able to carefully inspect each piece before I buy.

    I mostly alternate between Rockler and Woodcraft.
    In general I get better wood from Rockler.
    Also Bellforest gets my business.

    Thank you to all for your imput!!! It's great to check out all these suppliers. I'm currently putting all them into a list to keep down by the work bench. I have decided to try ronnies Ebay way. I ordered a couple of small handle pieces from bigmikeyc1. The pictures show the actual pieces, which look quality. Let you know how it turns out!
