your local stationery store. (moon-bang-gu)
hardware stores usually carry much thicker ones though.
where do you get your wood btw? all i could find was about an inch thick. (at a stationery store) |

| You can find it at any restroom that provides toilet paper. |

Sorry, I was referring to the sandpaper.
For wood, I would try a hobby shop (I'm not a craftsman myself, just an idea.) Good luck. |

np, i just found out some paint stores do carry woods. funny thing is it'd be harder for me to find a paint store.
i don't wanna hijack the thread but if anyone knows where one can buy wood for carving, help me out. |

Look for the hardware store, "Cheol mul jeom" (철물점) and ask for "sap-o" (사포).
Most neighborhoods have a hardware store. Look for long handled brooms outside on display. |

Alpha (a stationary and art store chain) in Namdaemun market has sandpaper. Also, if it's closer, the art supply store inside Hongik University has sandpaper too.
As for wood, i'd try around the Guro tool market (go to Guru station. The market is on the subway maps). I don't know specifically about wood, but i know they sell scrap metal. I'd be willing to bet that there would be wood too.
Hope this helps. |
