Thanks! That's probably a good way to start without spending too much
money. I'll check the other links the other people listed for some
nicer woods.

1/8" is probably the thinnest I'd ever need, so maybe this is my best bet.

I need to find a good source for thin boards (about 1/8") for doing
fretwork. The BORGs have decent thin oak boards, but not very wide.
Doing a nice portrait of animal drawing (using a 2/0 spiral blade)
doesn't give the right effect on 1/4" boards .. particularly when you
when to create a relief effect by overlaying them.

Does anyone know where I can find a good source for thin boards of
various wood types ... with decent widths available?

Thanks!

Have you tried baltic birch plywood? It is available in thicknesses
down to about 1/32" and can be stained or dyed very easily. You can
also stack and cut several pieces at once.
