Brians Questions: Hello gentlemen, I love your podcast. I appreciate the care and detail you put into maintaining a consistent format and clean, listenable audio. Having been a radio production director in a former career, I loathe most podcast audio, so your effort to provide a professional listening experience is apparent.In my brief time as a woodworker, I’ve found it difficult to source hardwood. I don't have any woodworking stores nearby—the closest is several hours away. Buying from private parties feels unreliable, and I strongly prefer kiln-dried wood. Furthermore, online ordering is expensive, even for small stock.So far, the only hardwood I’ve been able to work with was purchased from big-box stores or salvaged from pallets.Do you have any advice for sourcing hardwood in my Southern California area?Thank you!

Maybe I should focus on task lighting instead or possibly lowering lights on chain but that is a less appealing option.
