I don't know who you are woodPixel (you in Canberra and me in Warragul). You are too kind & perhaps easily impressed, or prone to exageration? ... but thanks for your views, I have worked hard to find and collect these for most of my life.
I've finished a basic list of luthiers woods, what I could find, names & dimensions but pricing yet to come.

Edit: Matt, I have just sent you a PM with the wood I can find that I think you will like. No big wide boards though.

Hi Matt & others interested in Imported Exotics like Rosewoods.
I think you may be struggling to find the larger sizes you need. Gilmer in US have some but they cant export many because of current restrictions.
However, I continue to find a very interesting variety, stored and squirrel away over many years. Most I had forgotten totally about. BUT sadly none in large size for guitar backs & sides. Enough for pegs small features, repairs etc
These include boards, blocks and some logs (whole , 1/2 & 1/4) of the following species. Species include:
Dalbergias (eg Kingwood, Tulipwood, Cocobolo, Braz Rosewood, Ocelots Ear, African Blackwood ) as well as
Ziricote
Cocuswood (RARE! Brya ebanus) in 1/2 log form (may cut one to trime best from them)
Grandillo
Santos Rosewood (Pau Ferro, Morado, Bolivian Rosewood)
African PINK IVORY
A variety of Central American woods in small sizes blocks & short trimmed logs. All rare / uncommon for small fancy wood inc. instruments & tools
If seriously interested let me know. I've been busy measuring and taking pics. Due to the CITES restrictions I can only offer many of these to Australian woodworkers as exporting across international borders is forbidden now.

Hi Vaughan,
I have replied and provided most of the info you wanted in your PM. I have not cut or priced any cocuswood yet.
Most of the other woods mentioned have been "reserved" (pending viewing & payment) ,with multiple expressions of interest.
Sorry for those who missed out. I wont have them again. Snakewood and Pink Ivory are next... I cant take it with me
