If you live in a region where Home Depot stocks maple, you can
search through their stacks and find curly maple. It is not
often that one finds a wide board, but they do show up once in
a while. Curly maple 1x2 is pretty common. All of the maple
at Home Depot is priced a bit higher than rough cut curly maple
is at a mill, but a lot lower than curly maple is at a hardwood
lumber dealer.

Last I checked the local Home Depot was asking about $4.50/bf for
maple, Doll lumber (Ohio) had rough cut curly maple for $3.50/bf
and a hardwood lumber place up in Balmore, MD has s4s curly maple
for $13.95/bf.

It has been a while since I visited Doll.
