As mentioned, I'm planning to order more of the 1/8" (3mm) wood that works well on the laser cutter:
http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/2004113/7913/Baltic-Birch-Plywood-3mm18-x-12-x-12.aspx
Those 12"x12" pieces are cheap, at $1.59 each, so a dozen is less than $20.
Here's who will be ordering this time:
Joseph Bozarth - 12 sheets of 1/8" 12"x12"
Pete (Me!) - 12 sheets of 1/8" 12"x12"
Collin Britt - 1 sheet of 3/4" 12" x 12" (Assuming this is not for the laser cutter.)
Shane - ???
If you want some, or some other wood from Woodcraft, let me know...
(If you're not sure about ordering, I usually have some spare sheets in my locker, and if you toss $2 in, you can grab one.)

With the 60 watt I think you can do 4mm or maybe 6mm wood. (Can anyone confirm?)
I order sheets from Woodcraft. Order online though, don't go to the local store!
And if you do plan on ordering some, others might want to get in on it. (I'd be one of them!)
If you just need a few sheets of 3mm thick 300mm x 300mm I have some in my locker... just leave $2.00 per sheet you take.

(Over the coming weeks, I'm going to have to make a special order.
I've got the Clockwork Boxes all designed, now I just need to cut them
to make sure I didn't royally screw anything up)
I've also started on the larger Vine Boxes (damned flowers!) and have
plans for the Celtic Knot Boxes, though those haven't been designed
yet....

Sorry guys, slight correction... *some* wood came in today, but the 1/8" is back-ordered and won't ship until Nov 30, 2012.
That means I have the piece(s) for Collin, but not Joseph or Kevin. :/

More good news! The wood arrived today.
Kevin & Joseph, I can give you your pieces tonight.
Shane and everyone else... if you need a piece of 3mm 12"x12" Baltic Birch, let me know and I can part with them at $2.00 each.
