Bob at rc tonewoods had some beautiful sets. Looks like they are all sold but he may have others. Send him an email.

I'm sure you may know of this already, but LMI (www.lmii.com) offers Ovangkol at a reasonable price, and they offer sales reps you can contact and ask if they by chance have any flamed sets to offer. It's a long shot, but it's worth a try.

I'd love to see an instrument crafted with it when you get this set you're asking for.

Look for it under it's more common name...Shedua and you'll find lots of it. Just saw some incredible figured boards at Gilmer website.
