There is an ebay seller called aussiefantom who has a wood supply business in MD. He caries a lot of nice handle wood.

i can vouch for the customer service of the seller in the first link, however none of their wood is stabilised, i have some stuff on the way from them as we speak. its my first order so im not sure of the quality yet but they are very helpful people.
international shipping can hurt though.
there is a guy who lists blocks occasionally on the classifieds at the knife network you may want to check there.

its pretty rare there are some places you can get it but its still not easy to find. plane gidgee is not to hard to get but the ringed is, i heard it happens in only 1 in 10,000 trees but im not sure if thats true or not. also i think they cant get it in boards due to the tree, just in small peices, so its only specialty places that have it. i do have a peice on its way to me from that seller above.
