Hey guys,
I am looking for some curly Bubinga for backs and sides.Not Waterfall or quilted.
I could use sets or a billet.

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... Http://www.peachstatelumber.com/home.htm P.S. They may have some smaller sizes available. |

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  )... 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  Shane, your figure is also pommele and not quilt. |

Hi Larry, how have you been? So, what do we have to do to drag you out of retirement and start offering tonewoods again?
