Looking for carving blanks

[RLeonard]

I recently began carving waterfowl decoys - mostly decorative (for now), but it’s been difficult locating good kiln dried lumber that’s good for this type of hobby.

Basswood, tupelo, white/sugar pine and white cedar are preferable, but I’m open to any softwoods with fairly clear grain. 4x8x18” is an ideal blank but 2x8, 2x6 and 4x6 of any length down to about 12” would also be fine.

Thanks for any info!

Butternut is another amazing carving wood.
