Beech / Maple / Quality Hardwood suppliers in Victoria

[chambo]

Hi,
I was after some help locating some beech and/or maple hardwoods around Melbourne for hand tool construction. I've tried a ring around my local (and not so local) timber merchants without much luck. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.


Thanks,

Matt.
