    Does anyone have any sources for lumber?

    I am interested in buying some larger pieces of exotic lumber like cocobolo figured bubinga etc. But cant find anyone that stocks it. Do you guys have any sources? I know there are probably better forums to ask this on. Just wanted to see what you guys had to say.
