looking for stabilized maple

[SDS]

I'm looking for some stabilized birdseye maple......maybe some quilted maple too. I really need the birdseye for an order though.

Does anyone have any they would want to sell or guide me towards a good supplier? I've looked a few places but either haven't seen any of what I'm looking for or don't know the source.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
SDS

I checked their site before I posted and they have some nice curly maple and burls but no birdseye is listed. There is one dealer on ebay but I haven't dealt with him before so I'm leary of what I'd be getting.

I have both scales and blocks of birdseye and quilt maple, natural and dyed. It's all packed up for Blade Show West this weekend unfortunately. Send me an email with the quantity you need if matching knives are being made if you like, but the timing isn't good as Blade West starts tomorrow...cheers...Larry Davis

Was going to suggest Gallery Hardwoods but someone beat me to it(Larry is Gallery Hardwoods). Larry See you at the show.
