I had a supplier that I was getting these boards from but he is out of them now.
Looking for .250 in. x 6-10 in. x 24 in. boards in white pine.

Well I got some boards from Ocooch but wasn't very impressed with the quality, lots of knotty boards that can't be used.

I've run into the same thing when buying from "Lumber Yards" Mike. Most of them are not used to the type of use that us engravers perform. You need to talk to them about how to specify the grade of wood you want. They are not like "Laser Bits" and other specialty suppliers. They work from HUGE lots of wood and logs. You need to specify exactly what you want. And remember, to them Pine is not Pine is not Pine. They may have ten different types and grades available. The last thing they look at is the dimensions you want.
Hope this helps you get better results when ordering "blind".
