Ron: If you have a table or band saw I think your best bet is your local lumber dealer. Tom |

Hi Tom, Good suggestion, but I need to use It right away. Doesn't wood from a local lumber yard need time to dry? Thanks, Ron |

Hibdon has just started stocking sugar maple back/side sets. Bet they have plenty of scraps around big enough for bridges. You could also check with Oregon Wild Wood, as they stock some neck blanks and back/side sets of it as well. Not sure about lumberyard wood dryness, but you could always ask about drying procedures and moisture content. If they don't know anything... probably not a good sign. |

Is big leaf maple too soft for a bridge? Thanks, Ron |

I ordered a few Sugar Maple bridge blanks this morning from Hibdon. Thanks Dennis and Tom. Ron |
