For all the regular carvers here on the site I'm sure you have you're favorite suppliers. I'd like to start a running list of prefered suppliers such as sawmills, paints, cork, carving tools or just general carving supplies and maybe even tutorials.
I took lessons from Willy at the duck blind here in Michigan. He sells pretty much everything you need for carving and has some great tutorials on his site.

Can't get much better than Willie, I get my basswood for heads there. Actually won his DVD set back in January, really good stuff.
Since about all im doing right now are wire and canvas I dont have a long list of specialty places. I did invest in a good knife from Bob Barts Knives, picked up a tupelo knife. Excellent blade.

Great source for glass eyes and painting/carving tools. For knives I prefer Knotts Knives in Salisbury MD. I also buy most of my cedar from him if I dont drive to NC to get it. He does ship but I go to his house to pick it up so I can check out his decoys while Im there.
