I have one but I think it's only 6". If it's 7" it's yours Bill.

Maybe this will help too.  ;D

I'm fairly certain I got some from Al here last year. I could be wrong tho.

[Bill]

Thanks Glen

I got bocote from Al also and I looked at his website and didn't see any listed I know if it comes from Al it will be top notch stuff

I thought AL sold it.  ;D  Check out Keim tomorrow. I'm fairly certain they have it there. They are a tad expensive but you can hand pick it if you're in a hurry for it.

I can't get to Keim's till Saturday Just thought if there was some available here I would just get it from here

I get a lot of my wood from Craft Supplies USA, and so far have had good service, good wood, and reasonable prices. Bocote, 1 1/2" square by 12" is only  $4.90 plus shipping. Not too bad. I usually buy quite a bit at a time and the shipping costs are spread out over more pieces so it's not too bad.

Here's a place I picked up some bacote. You'll need to cut it to size, but it's the best price I'd found on it. Seems to have nice figure to it. The guy I had to deal with was a bit dense, but eventually he got around to seeing if they had some left. Shipped it off really fast once he found what I wanted.

Yeah, I wondered if his head was up his butt. But I did get some nice wood finally. I had to even tell him how to ship what I wanted  lol

[Bill]

I am still waiting for him to call me back and tell me what they have

I did find out the squeeky wheel gets greased through Vienna. Just call him back and irritate the crap out of him. He'll get sick of you calling and FINALLY go check the stock lol

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to go over and poke around.

It's been some time since I was at Vienna Hardwoods, didn't have to talk to the guy there very much.  He kinda pointed me in the general direction of the storage.

I do remember roaming around the shop and looking at all of the nice wood.  Now that I'm looking for 8/4, I think I'll have to look a little harder!
