Hello dear friends,
Im looking for a lumber supplier who will sell me curly and quilted lumber so I can cut from it 18.5"x8"x1/2" (47x20x1.25cm) boards for tops. Does anybody knows a supplier in the US or Europe that will sell me this lumber in a reasonable price? (And I dont mean pre-cut expensive tops like those StewMac and Northridge sell.)

Thank you and have a great weekend.

I do, but I won't be home for a couple weeks. I can send you some pics when I get back. Where are you located?

The Wood Well near Port Townsend, WA offers some of the most gorgeous quilted and flamed maple that I've seen.

If you subscribe to the Classifieds, Dan has a few postings for quilted and flame maple. You could PM him from there.
Here you go, Mike. He's listed as DannyV memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=11145
