Thanks for the update, Andy.
It may be worthwhile to befriend a nearby joiner to be able to order wood through him. I don’t think I’m as far in the process as you are, but I figured I would stick to native woods. I can get rough sawn boards of oak, cherry, ash, maple, basswood, beech and even meranti from the local lumber yard. Limitation is a challenge. 🙂 I think those already go a long way. It may also pay to get on good terms with their storage crew in order to be able to pick the best boards.
There are a few “edelholz” dealers on the internet, but prices are probably too steep for anything more than inlay work or small pieces. Sawing for yourself may also be possible.
You will need to register a business anyway to sell your work, so I would think that would help with the wholesale dealers.
I would try to avoid the words “Tischler” or “Schreiner” to stay as far away as possible from the guild.
Just a few thoughts really.
Keep us posted.
