    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.

    Well, I have seen them, and they are impressive.

    You guys must have been around for YONKS (that's AGES in old speak) judging by the thousands of posts you have collectively made,

    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 Euge, as a budding flutemaker I'd be very interested in a 1/2 log or so of Cocuswood. I'll send you a PM.

    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
