Ray P Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 One of the things I do is go to the lumber yard and go to the cut off bins and pick out cut offs that I could use. At most lumber yards they are free. Just make sure the lumber is untreated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him it was tons of parrot toys...so now he puts the "warped" pieces aside for me. I don't know of any places in the UK, but there are some great online stores: http://www.pine4parrots.co.uk/Pages/Toymakingparts.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
