scrap pile at a quality lumber yard or boat yard/boat builder's school

On the docks--shipping companies from Asia use it as spacers; you can find it laying around

old furniture

Boat junk yard

My neighbor actually had a bunch that size he was trying to get rid of.
I'll see if he still has it and get back to you.

These guys have every type of 'exotic' wood available. Not sure what shipping would be from GA. They used to be called Atlanta Hardwood.

Surely there is a similar business near you...

Like I said in my first post I only need 2 small pieces and it's just for a repair..... I'm not rebuilding the entire swim platform I'll just keep my eye out for something on E-Bay/CL

He wasn't home today. I'll try and catch him tomorrow. If not, I'll be out of town for a few days.
From what I remember they were about 1 1/2" x about 3/4" or 1" and 12" to 18" long.
