[Woodcarver] Basswood prices

[Merryl Bustin]

Good day carvers,
I just bought a piece of basswood for carving and would like to know what you think of the price. It is a piece 4"x 6" and 14" long, no sides dressed, but kiln dried. The price was $19.60 ( actually paid $22.54 including tax).  (BTW, these are Canadian Dollars)
As this is the only source I know of for this type of wood in my province, I was wondering if its a fair price, or could I do much better through mail order?

Cheers,
