Where is a good place to find some Walnut? I have looked at a few places but haven't found very much so maybe I am looking in the wrong places. I checked Allied and several other sites and only found a few. I am a little more interested in Bastogne and Black Walnut than Claro.

I like Hibdon since I can stop by after work. But another place to Black Walnut that I've had good success with is Goby.

Couldn't wait and risk missing this set of curly black walnut on eBay from mcgr40. He has other walnut still for sale. The listing stated he doesn't ship to Canada but when asked he made the exception for me. This will be for build #2 - OM cutaway.

Haha, nice score :) I was gawking at that set after reading this thread yesterday. I do believe that's the best looking set of black walnut I've ever seen, but a little too pricey for me to pay just for looks. Be sure and post a build thread when you get to work on it [:Y:]

For Jschlueter, that set Kevin has in the classifieds looks pretty nice, and so cheap I'm tempted to hoard it up for myself even though I really don't need it :P
