It's going to be harder to find, it does come in rough dimensions and planed to thickness 3/4". Failing that take a look at poplar, home depot carries it.

Dave,
Interesting material. Not the kind of thing found at Home Depot from what I can tell. We do have a wood carving store nearby that might carry it. Does it come in sheets of uniform thickness like MDF?

Rick try using some jelutong

I've used it, better than pine for most pattern work and doesn't have the problems of mdf.
Mdf is cheap in the short term, long term it could be very expensive.
