I have looked at Lowe's and Menard's and found that if you get lucky you can find some that will meet grain requirements but you have to look in through the "Clear" material carefully and you have to get lucky and find the pieces that happened to have been in the 1/4 sawn orientation. Probably could do the same at "Home Depot" or any premium grade lumber sorce but be prepared to look through a lot of boards and to follow the ASTM Specs for aircraft spruce very carefully.
A/C Spuce is expensive because much of the wood from milling of the trees just does not meet the stds. that is why it is expensive.
