Ha. 2x4s? Those must be pretty big chipmunks. You'd be better off just going to a very big stationary store such as S Dot. They have various grades of softwood/hardwood for models and woodcrafts, and wire mesh. I recall seeing some heavy pieces of lumber there too. They also have a craftsman on hand to cut the wood as needed, on the spot.

Or, you need to find a 재목상점 (Lumber Dealer) near you. I don't know where 'near Seoul' is. They are usually scattered about in areas dedicated to hardware and machinery.

I guess the wire mesh roll is going to be harder to find than the wood.
