Today and following Zoltan´s suggestion, I ordered some wood from modellbau-holz.jimdo.com for my Nuestra Senora and to replace some of the wood of the Ambiteux.
Although the site is entirely in German, and I don't speak a word of German, it was not difficult to place the order.
Now is just wait and see what happens, I have great faith in the quality of their wood, I'll leave my impressions here, as soon as I receive the parcel.

Well, I've just received the wood I had ordered. Less than a week, considering the Easter period and the Holy Week, it was very rapid indeed.
Very good wood, consistent quality, color and appearance. I think it was a good choice. I sincerely recommend their wood and their service.
Not a fancy parcel, but sturdy and I am used to have the wood supplied in plastic sleeves, not so here, just the wood
Only thing against is the post. Expensive, but I am used to that with every German supplier, including Proxxon.
Now I have no excuses. Ambitieux and NS del Pilar are waiting.

Seems like The Lumberyard the only timber supplier left in the USA ,Crown Timberyard just closed their doors for good and yes Lumberyard has boxwood!!!
...and Pearwood, and holly and ....you name it!!!
Here is a pile of West Indian boxwood 734 board feet weight about 2 1/2 tons and this is how it is purchased at Lumberyard , also read again this topic about real boxwood, Costello boxwood is not real boxwood just a made up name.
That's a really nice stash, Zoly, and Dave!
I was looking for a couple different strip sizes over the past couple of weeks as I work on my Fair American. I have very little stock of wood strips. I have what came in the kit and I did get a couple of small packages of strips, but I cannot remember where I got them. What is the best way to go about getting some different sizes of strip wood. I am not familiar with all the different varieties. I have been reading Dave's post on different types of wood, but have no idea what I should try and stock.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Dave from the lumberyard can provide a sample pack to you of various timbers, so you can decide what you like.
