You don't need special wood, just good wood.I used to get White Pine and Mahogany boards in the 4'X16"X10 to 12 ft from a Local Wood supplier/Wholsaler. You usually need to buy a minimum number of board feet, but you will find the wood ends up being Cheaper than the Construction grade from Home Depot.There is not much better carving wood than Mahogany.I'm not sure exactly where you are, but there has to be cabinet makers shops there and THEY will know where to get Good wood. Wood from these places will be kiln dried and Stable. Hope this helps and please Ask anything.
