Materials and Supplies Sourcing
1. Where to buy bracing spruce? Do you have sources for buying bulk spruce that I can cut to my own dimensions as I see fit?
2. Recommendations for specific side bending heating blankets? Need to get up to 300 degrees+ with temperature control to bend Claro Walnut. Does regular walnut bend similarly to Claro - thinking here about possibly getting a cheap practice side set, but worried it won't actually bend similarly. 3. Where to buy kerfing? Is Stewmac kerfing any good? I'd like to make my own kerfing, ideally, but don't want to necessarily use the nice mahogany I have at home.

Aircraft spruce sells a 20lb assortment of spruce stock cheap ($37.50 at the moment). Years of project material for those of us at entry/student level.
