Looking for a good Tonewood Supplier in Canada

[IAmTheAntipop]

Hello!

I'm thinking about building my first bass and I would like to know if any of you guys know a good tonewood supplier in Canada. If possible with a good variety of tonewoods/tops etc. And also, I have a few questions, I want to build a 6 string neck thru bass, what would be the dimensions of the wood I need for that, is different from a 4 string?(yeah I really have no clue what I'm about to get into haha)

Thanks!

Where do you live? Plenty of them out there. If you are in the Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge/Guelph Ontario area, there is a great place in Cambridge called A&M Wood Specialty.

I actually live in Québec, and it doesn't have to be a supplier near, just one on internet in Canada(to avoid customs)

I've used these guys several times for my archtop guitars. I believe they supply to a number of the larger Canadian builders as well. Their service is very good.

A+M is good, and exotic woods burlington is great as well. Canada is lucky to have so many great suppliers.

If you are near Montreal ,you can go to Langevin & Forest on Pie IX boulevard.

I don't, but Hipshot may have specs posted or a dimensioned drawing on their website.
