I need a couple very small pieces. Does anyone know of a source where they sell smaller pieces than a full 4 x 8?

I need to carve a cross for a church sign and I want to hollow out the back of the cross to mount LED's to cast a glow behind the cross.

With the backside hollowed out, I figure I want something stronger than 18 lb HDU.

Any other material rigid enough to give the cross strength since the finished cross will have fairly thin walls would also work.

Two inch thick, 18" x 24" would be ideal.

Watch out Dave...Kellie will have you buying a trainload within 30 minutes.

Now, what am I going to do with 80 gallons of filler/primer?

We just took delivery of a good sized order of Precision Board... all 30 and 40 lb too! That stuff sure in HEAVY! And I can't believe you only have 80 gallons of Coastal Enterprises primer on hand Raymond... here I thought you took my advice to heart when you attended our workshop...

It pays to buy in BULK in Yarrow...

"good sized order"...I can only imagine. Dan probably has more of the stuff in his shop than Kellie has in theirs.

And actually Dan, I only have four gallons in stock, but that will last for awhile. And thanks to Kellie for steering me in the right direction to get it here quickly.

"Buy in Bulk"...yes, I remember. Four gallons is bulk (American rather than Canadian - equal to 80 liters or whatever you use to measure stuff).
