I got a lot of downvotes.. Is your wood really that shit? I buy the cheapest crap in Europe and it's still.... straight (enough) for ordinary construction and even more. It's only if I needed unfixed poles or detail work that I'd ever consider looking for "straight wood". We do have shit wood but that's mainly aesthetics. Look at the edge. Bendy boards are totally fine. They'll attach just fine.

Anyway, warning, long story coming in:

The only time I've purchased wood directly from a mill was for a musical instrument. My friend wanted to build a fretless basd and asked if I wanted to come along for the ride. Sure, dude.

So he got some kind of hardwood from Southern America perfectly cut but still a spare and it cost him more than buying a god damn finished fretless bass.

The best part is that the idiot never even followed through and built it.

He still has that $200 piece of perfect wood somewhere in his boxes of stuff that he didn't unpack the last 2 times that he moved.

Anyway, go ahead and eyeball the wood. I don't mind.
