Welcome dbowstrike1. Would love to see some of your work. Being a frugal shopper (ok I am cheap)now retired and on a fixed income. I have found some excellent finds in cabinet shop dumpsters. Lots of oak, cherry and maple and birch ply. I was lucky enough to find some spanish cedar at the music store. I don't mind diving in dumpsters.

Would love to hear if you have pattern ideas, all designers get to spark their creativity. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
