I would like to purchase some green Birch to make Kuksas for the next Holiday gift giving. Is there anywhere that it can be purchased? Being in NW Arizona it is not available around here. The reason for green as opposed to dried is I understand it will be much easier to carve.
I entered "birch" into Woodfinder and got these, the 10 closest to me according to my zip code:Quote:

These are only those dealers who signed up for woodfinder. Most are probably not green wood but you can try "green wood" or "sawmill" or "sawmill, birch" as keywords. Also, Woodmizer keeps a list of those with their mills willing to cut for others. Some of these are sure to have birch.
Woodfinder will give you addresses, phone numbers, etc
Try it.

Thanks John! I didn't know Woodfinder existed until you mentioned it. Unfortunately nothing popped up during a few searches. I'll put more time into it again a little later but I may have to look into another type of wood for this project, possibly one of the species available locally through urban harvesting. I was really fortunate to find recent cuttings of Elm, Pecan, Mesquite, Ash & Magnolia, all incredibly in NW Arizona. Hopefully I can find something suitable in green wood for my Kuksa projects.Quote:
