soundboard press

[ANRPiano@AOL.COM]

I am in the process of building a soundboard press along the lines which 
Claire Davies built and discribed in the Jornal some time ago.  I have been 
completely unable to find a source for southern yellow pine as per his 
suggestion in the Chicago area.  Does anyone know of a source or an 
alternative material.

Thanks in advance
