Default two-inch thick stock for chair seats

Thanks. I have heard of them but haven't been up there yet.

Cross Cut Hardwood on 1st Ave South. Yesterday I was really disappointed
with their figured wood. I was looking for some dense birds eye maple but
walked away empty. They did have plenty of 12/4 and 16/4 maple, cherry,
poplar, and others.

What's the name of the dealer. I'm in Auburn. Always looking for a good
source.

I just called my wood dealer, but he doesn't carry any 2" thick

stock
lumber. I'm specifically looking for kiln-dried eastern white pine
(would settle for Popular or other soft wood) to make wooden chair
seats. What do other woodworkers do? Glue up sandwiched 1.5" stock
then surface plane?

I don't know where you live, but I was at a dealer in Seattle today

and
they
had most types of hardwood up to 12/4 and common types in 16/4. I

would
find a new dealer in your area. If there is nothing local you can get

what
you need from the web.
