Ummm......Nope.

Try Marshalls Timber at Cardiff. Talk to Bruce. Tell him I sent ya.

G'day, Larry.

Sounds like an interesting gig this American Rock Maple.

Although, you could always talk them into American Oak, which, by the way, happens to be my favorite timber to sand.

Anyway, give this crowd a bell http://www.brittontimbers.com.au/home.aspx?page=home

Let us all know how you get along and take a #### load of pictures.

Thanks chaps, great leads, Thankyou

As I understand it, bowling lanes used to use rock maple in the impact area (the first 20' or so), but it was superceded by the creation of aluminium lanes with plastic surfaces. If my information is correct, the main impetus for the change was the lack of avaiability of good rock maple.
