Hey guys,
I am looking for some curly Bubinga for backs and sides.Not Waterfall or quilted.
I could use sets or a billet.
If anyone has some or saw some available please let me know! [:Y:]

Thanks

Peter, I was just over at Peach State Lumber and they had a slab of curly bubinga 10 feet long, four feet wide, and 3" thick. Still has the bark on the edge. It was an awesome slab of wood - only $10,000...

P.S. They may have some smaller sizes available.

Shane,
thanks for the offer my friend but that's not what I'm after.

I bought some sets of fiddleback bubinga from Larry Davis (Gallery Hardwoods) several years ago. I don't know if he has any these days, he didn't when I contacted him about a replacement set of sides about 3 or 4 years ago (yup, broke a side, the stuff can be difficult to bend on a pipe gaah )... I still have one or two sets set + the orphan back and I'm willing to part with it. Shipping would be a bit pricy, unfortunately... PM me if you're interested and I'll send you some snap shots.

Tony, that's pommele figure and not curly in that big bubinga slab. Last I saw it was marked "sold" to a furniture maker. I live in Acworth. I've spoke with John about shipping some of my wood into Peach State for consignment, but I'm to lazy to put it together.

Hi Arnt..long time.. I have curly left along with waterfall, birdseye and pommele but since I retired it's to much work to cut it laughing6-hehe

Shane, your figure is also pommele and not quilt.
