I found it at Home Depot in the cull bin, which meant it was
discounted 70%.  1x5x12 white pine, seconds or better.  Not sure why
it was culled, it wasn't wany or split or tied in a bow like the
rest.  At Home Depot they give you two cuts free, but you have to be
pretty brave to ask for it when you're only buying a cull for thirty
cents on the dollar.  I would have bought some Baltic birch plywood
but they'd never heard of it.

I reckon I'll cut pieces off it whenever I need a little bit of soft
wood not too wide with the odd knot in it.
