Where to purchase wood type.

aluminum

Anyone know of some sources to purchase some wood type. Specifically, I’m looking for a set of mismatched numerals. I don’t want to use it for printing, so don’t want to nor need the guilt of splitting up siblings from a full case. A place that just sells some orphaned letterforms would be ideal.

aluminum - did you ask at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts? I know they’ve been selling some unused metal sorts - they might have some wood for you too.

Never occurred to me that they’d part with anything like that. ;0)

Good idea. Good excuse to get across the river, too.
