has been spending time in paradise lately.
writes:Since I recently wrote about the disappointing selection of wood at Walmart, it seemed time to see what was on hand at Hobby Lobby (a major U.S. arts-and-crafts chain). They formerly had a good select of smaller wooden shapes.
To my surprise, the only item in stock that I would consider useful for wargaming are these wooden discs.
The pack is labeled 4 Laser Wooden Discs and retails for $1.99 USD. Made in China.
The size is given as 3.1" diameter (7.87 cm). What gives with all these oddball sizes?
The thickness is roughly 2.5mm.
I also checked the company website, and I found their search engine to be terrible. I could not find the 3.1" discs, so perhaps they have been discontinued. I could, however, find 3 7/16" discs, as well as some bagged sets of miscellaneous discs and rectangles (exact sizes not stated).
