Default Good places to buy prestretched wooden screens?

I usually order screens from ryanrss.com and like their screens, but this is the second time that I've ordered screens and they've been backordered. I was wondering if you guys (you that use wooden screens) could tell me where you like to get them from? I'm looking for a place with good quality screens that generally ship them out pretty quickly, for a decent price.
BTW, I ordered screens from logossp.com and they were terrible. The wood was roughly cut, I had to brush off wood splinters and there was long pieces of mesh thread hanging off I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
Thanks In Advance.

Sorry I can't help you with a source, but I am curious: why wood?

I hadn't heard that before. How does that work? I can't see how the frame could affect the mesh / emulsion.

I use a bit of both (wooden frames that are basically legacy equipment, and aluminium if I buy new frames), so I was just wondering if I'd been overlooking (or under utilising) advantages with wooden frames.

I also buy from Ryans and they usually are very quick to ship. However I just ordered 4 frames that took a full 2 weeks to get. Not sure whats happening down there.

I quit buying wood frams because they kept warping. Aluminum for me from now on.
