Quarter half-inch solid pine

At B+Q today looking for the above mentioned every piece I lifted was warped
Are there any retailers that sell two or three pieces to the public
Going through to many blades with plywood

I have cut warped pine before, not an issue. Not large items.
All my current pine are off cuts from other project. Clear pine no knots, 22mm thick.

That looks like a nice cut out dragon(s).
Was the ply the same shade and bottom one stained or two different ply's?

My warped mind first thought was that the bottom one was being nailed by the top one

The dragon is half inch marine plywood
The wings feet and plinth are all 8mm birch ply
Going to try some poplar

I think that's brilliant @antifoul2020 . Is it your own design or can one get plans online? I may just have to have a go.

Where you have it displayed makes it really look good!

What finish did you apply?

Looking at the thin tail, ply would be a good option. Would not trust doing that in solid wood.
What size sheets of ply can you buy?
I have to take a full sheet of 2440mm x 1220mm from the timber merchant. Not tried to source smaller sheets from hardware shops.

I can get 4mm hardboard from them at 1220mm x 700mm. The issue with the hardboard is, only one side looks good.
Used some hardboard to cut out Gnomes (also Steve Good). Will see where pics are and post on separate thread.
