Building a Honduran Rosewood SS Dred with all wood trim. Hoping someone here knows where to get nice, highly figured Koa for binding and heel cap.

Thanks, Chris

You can check Volcano's website also. They are selling reduced price orphan side sets which are beautiful and perfect for cutting into binding, heel caps, headplates, whatever.

Shane Niefer (High Mountain Tonewoods) has (or had a month ago) some nice curly koa bindings. Stew Mac also has some.
