I've noticed that the subject of wood pieces has come up alot (doing a quick search in the forums). I've been through the sites listed in the "web resources" section as well as some sites that I have googled. But so many of these sites seem very "mom and pop", which is very cool, but it also makes me kinda nervous typing in my credit card numbers.
Soooo, I was wondering if anyone who often buys wood parts (cubes, hexagons, pawns, etc...) has found a good, trustworthy supplier that has decent prices and decent selection, who actually ships to the US. (I noticed Stockade Wood Parts is pretty decent, but unfortunately it is Canada only. :( )
Most of my games use geometric wood shapes and pieces that I carve/sculpt. I am in most need of cubes, checkers/circles, pawns, and hexagons would be cool, though that is a tad more difficult to come by (as would appear from the joyous response to a member posting a place to buy them). I would also like places that have boards of varous sizes (plaques, etc...)
Thank you!
Cool, thanks for the encouragement, but I assure you, I buy a ton of crap online -- I barely leave the house!! j/k.
My nervousness comes more in how these "mom and pop" run the business. If their incoming orders are really small, it seems they totally forget to check them out. For example, I once order something from a site and I didn't get any sort of response from them for weeks. I finally inquired, only to wait a number of more weeks, only to discover that they had stopped taking busines, even thought their site was still up and functioning!!
I was annoyed, and just want to find a decent place that has good prices AS WELL AS good business practices.
But, again, thank you for the info.
