Rock Maple Motor Mounts

[badbill]

Where's the best place to get our Rock Maple Motor Mount material? Does Lowes have it? I can cut if necessary....  About to build a Magician from a Midwest kit, and the motor mounts that came with it are about 3" long

Call Tom Morris. He carries them.

So does Sig... looking to find a more local, cheaper source.

Any specialty lumber co should carry 4 quarter northern hard maple.... check your yellow pages

Forgot: also call your local cabinet shops, they often have short cut off pieces they may even give you... If not the price should be good.

Lotsa good ideas, keep em' coming !!

Flooring can be recut.  Sugar maple or Hard Maple is stocked by many lumber yards and some big box stores.  Call around.  Select a nice clean plank that has lots of straight grain in it.  Don't use curly grain for motor mounts EVER.

I stopped by a local specialty lumber store and looked their selection of wood.  They had a 1/2 inch thick hard maple board about 5 inches wide and about 8 ft long.  It was tagged $10.50.  I asked about getting a 3/8 wide strip off that board.  He said sure.  I paid $1.00 and he put the remainder of the board back in stock still marked $10.50.
