Also check a few of the wood flooring stores. I have a buddy that latched on to a ton of wood flooring that for some reason was milled to varying thicknesses. On the floor the error stood out like a spotlight so the retailer was dumping the flooring. But once my buddy put in on the wall the problem was almost nonexistant. He got that wood free the retailer was scrapping it all.
EXCELLENT IDEA!!!!
