Thanks

My guess is that Shane would sell you some Sitka of the Lutz variety.

Neifer has some very nice wood. Billets of Sitka can be had. A lot of it is timing. They actually sell out sometimes, other times they are under a few feet of snow.

I would try the OLF sponsers first. At the very least research the tonewood dealers you find by searching.
