Please forgive if this is a really stupid question. I'm still a total novice.
My local choice for timber is a bit limited - Travis Perkins or the DIY stores, but all the timber I have seen on sale is at least 14mm thick, which is a bit too thick for making delicate boxes. The only time I have seen thinner stock is either t&g or really thin strips which would take loads to make up into a decent width.
Is it possible to buy thinner stock for making smaller items? Does anyone out there make small boxes or dolls houses or whatever, and have any tips on how to go about sourcing?
I have a bandsaw (no thicknesser), but my efforts at resawing have so far been disastrous, so it would be great if I could buy it already thin.
