I live in a big city and can’t exactly snap a branch of a random tree or real pick up random sticks from people’s backyards without getting some looks.

I’ve ordered off Amazon and Etsy in the past for basswood and walnut that was not bad.

Im just curious where other people get resources?

I’ve actually tried whittling a wooden stool leg from a stool someone was throwing out and this must have been treated or something because it was hard as fuck and took forever.

Large trash day is not a bad idea. It’s warm by me. People Gotta be doing some sort of yard work on weekends that I can grab scraps from.

I’m pretty crappy at identifying wood species but I’m also not picky at all
