Hi, I'd be grateful for advice as to what kind of wood I would need
(and where to get it) for making tiles for a game. They have got to be
about 3.5 mm thick and would be similar to shop-bought tiles I have
got, e.g. in the shape of half a 35mm square cut along the diagonal.
The ones I have got are very strong, I've had them decades and never
broken one - you would really need to 'give it some' if you wanted to
snap one! I am not sure what kind of wood they are, whatever it is
it's quite lightweight.

Thanks in advance,

I should have added - I want to make them in weird and wonderful shapes,
so readymade blank squares or triangles etc. wouldn't do!
