Rob: There was once a couple of places here in Houston, but they have both
joined the Choir Invisible. I now buy all the "exotics" I use from the firm
of Art Eisenbrand in Torrance, CA. There number is (310) 542-3576. Orders?
(800) 258-2587. They have some good stuff, but one must watch the
moisture-content! Have you any EXPERIENCE with machining wood? If not,
suggest you EXPERIMENT for several years, before spending more than a few
bucks on "raw stock", cause, it'll GETcha!
