    Default purpleheart, and lacewood???

    Hello everyone, I am new to the froum and to woodworking. I have been looking for two pieces of wood for a while now and can't find anywhere to get it locally. So I was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction. I need a piece of purpleheart that is 1.5 x 3.5 x 67in, and a piece of lacewood that is 2.5 x 2.5 x 67in. Any help woud be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

    Default Northern Silky Oak ( AKA Lacewood )

    John, jump on the silver bird and I can help you with the Lacewood, but not the purpleheart.
    regards Croc.

    Send me first class return tickets and I will be only too happy to bring a nice piece of purple heart to you.

    www.viennahardwoods.com has what you need. You could call and speak to John and see if he would be willing to ship. However, you really would be much better off finding a local distributer of exotic lumber. Surely, there is someone in Florida selling this stuff.

    If you really can't find it any other way, send me a PM and I can go down and pick it up for you and have it shipped. As a matter of fact, I have plenty of both species in my shop right now. Shouldn't cost to much if we use USPS.

    JK, these guys in US might be helpful..they list both species in their product line

    http://www.highlandhardwoods.com/hardwood-flooring-info.html#dictionary

    also these suppliers seem to have a bit of the south american species...brazilian purpleheart and brazilian lacewood seem to be the most popular varieties of what u r after..
