Please allow me to refer to the wood inlay section on our web site:
"The wood chosen for the inlays are prime grade pieces that have been stabilized. (Stabilizing is process that replaces the air and moisture in the wood with polyester resin, resulting in increased strength and durability.) We are not able to offer special orders in the choice of woods as all inlays are selected at random from the most interesting pieces we can find. The woods that we are using are Southwest Maple Burl, Southwest Spalted Maple, Southwest California Buckeye, Box Elder and Curly Maple."
Currently we are adding to the list of woods to be used as inlays, such as walnut and madrone, but unfortunately we are not able to accept special requests for a specific type of wood. Besides....that would eliminate the anticipation/excitement factor!
Thanks,
Mark
