As a foot note to "Stocking Up"; storeing the wood can be a problem.
Be sure to keep it in a cool dry place (prevents warping), but I found something neat over Chistmas - a Verticle Wrapping Paper storage container.
Basically; it's just a tall plastic box (12" x 18" x 36") BUT; it's great for storing both rolls of covering and lengths of wood. I found them at the hardware store as well as a drug store & Walmart - different colours and sizes, but they all work.
