When I need Spruce I go to a local specialty wood supplier and he cuts the sizes I need for me.  I buy the blank and then I pay for the cutting but I get the exact size I need and I pick the blank to be cut up.  This way I select how straight the gain is.

Check Aircraft Spruce & Specialty.  I just got some 60" pcs of 3/16.  They can probably hook you up.  When you order wood from their website you can type in special instructions, lengths, widths, etc.
It's only paranoia if they aren't really after you.

Gil: Call Tom Morris and if he doesn't have it he can CUT IT!  As with any wood...you need 20 pcs.  buy 50 pcs. so you've got a selection and future inventory. Tom has cut me 48" 1/4" stock and it's beautiful!    Regards/ Bill Allen
