Any links for air dried wood???

I know of 2 sources, Timbernation & Mapleshade. If $ is no object, the only way to fly is mapleshade's 4" thick 18" x 24" board, under my TT it makes Timbernation's 3" thick kiln dried wood sound like a wet sock. I have 3 TN plats & 1 Mapleshade...wish it was ALL air dried.

Could you list some links for air dried??

TN has only limited supply of air dried, its about 10% more than Kiln.


Also, don't buy those generic Isoblocks! they have that waffle neoprene & difft amounts (thickness) of cork. Check out a friends actual set of Isoblocks, take measurements and go to a hardware store & buy the same thing. Also, if this friend will let you pull apart the 2 parts of an Isoblocks, try and replicate the sticky glue...its not standard stuff.

Cut & glue the identical generics to get Isoblocks, otherwise you're pissing into a headwind. I've tried to replicate Isoblocks sonics wise, its difficult. I end up spending $18 at the hardware store and still don't have the right glue. $24 for Mapleshade's is not a rip-off to me.

Now, if pierre sold them for $50 a set i'd declare 'shananigans'.

i've peeled apart 1 Isoblock layer by layer. these can be done generically but you must use the exact same materials.

since getting into isolation i've seen no less than 10 difft types of generic isoblocks. be careful, hunt dilligently & you'll end up with good stuff.
