At you local farm and feed store - usually anywhere feed stocks and hay, straw, and grain are sold. A large bale of pine shavings is typically $9 to $10 in my area - WA state.
The cost of wood shavings will vary according to where you live, what brand you prefer, and how much you buy at one time. Only pine should be used for horse shavings, and these are typically the lowest in price. You can buy them by the 'bag' or 'bale' for anywhere from $2.00 (in bulk buy form) or up to $12.00 per bag/ bale at the feed store. You can buy them by the cubic yard from mills and this will likely be the most cost effective method, but you must have storage available to house the bulk shavings as they will not be bagged or baled up.
YES! I know a horse that actually died when someone accidentally put cherry shavings in its stall. Never use cherry shavings. It can cause laminitis, colic, death, and many other health issues.
Pine or aspen wood shavings are generally safe for lionhead rabbits, as long as they are kiln-dried and free from additives or chemicals. Avoid cedar and other aromatic woods, as they can be harmful to a rabbit's respiratory system. It's also important to provide a soft bedding material in addition to the wood shavings for comfort.
I would put a about three to four layers of newspaper at the bottom and add the wood shavings and hay on top
Black walnut is especially toxic to horses and should never be brought onto the same property where horses are kept. It does not really matter what form the wood is in it stays toxic to the horses and can bring on allergic reaction and severe laminitis.

Pencil Shavings... They are the little curly wood chips you get when you sharpen a pencil.
Smaller surface area, Wood shavings are generally drier than a log of wood, because of the general density of the wood itself. Wood shavings are in turn, easier to burn because of the small amount of moisture in them, therefore, they burn faster, and easier.
Wood shavings are insoluble in water. They do not dissolve but rather remain as solid particles when mixed with water. This insolubility is due to the complex structure of cellulose and lignin in wood, which do not break down in water. Instead, wood shavings can absorb some moisture but will retain their solid form.
The cost of shavings varies greatly depending on the type of wood, the size of the shavings, the brand, the size of the package, and the dealer who is selling them. You typically will not find shaving for under $4.00 a bag.
