New Wood Craft and Carving Supply Store

Jeremy Frislie is planning soon to open a wood worker and carvers supply store in down town Sioux Falls.  He is interested in knowing what sizes and shapes of basswood would be most desirable for local woodcarvers.
He will be getting some of that high quality stuff from northern Minnesota, so please let him know as soon as possible what your preferences are for size and shape.
