Lowes and Home Depot sells poplar in 1/2", 3/4", and some thicker stock (in small lengths).

Hey Scott . Thanks. They are retailers and the very least a louver would cost is about 1.50. I need a bunch. Impractical. I need a lumber yard.

I built 4 louvered doors with soft maple due to the scarcity of basswood. Worked well, Here's a pic...

The Hardwood Store of NC has both 4/4 and 5/4 poplar, 4/4 basswood.

So you're now using basswood and/or poplar? Where'd you get that stash to begin with?

Is Berlin Myers in Summerville your local boutique supplier with the too high prices? I don't think that your new stash is just going to show up on your doorstep at cut-rate prices so you may have to bite the bullet and live with it.

The price/bf at the big box stores is very high. The poplar at Gibsonville is $2.00-$2.30 /bf depending on width, s2s with one straight edge.

How far are you from Steve Wall lumber in Mayodan, NC?

He has 4/4 for about $2

Steve is always my first choice. It is an expedition though. He is over 3 hours away.

So why not find someone closer to you? You have gas, mileage, your time, etc to save a few $/bf. Seems upside down or you don't read the reply posts to your question.
