Hello,

Does anyone know where I could find some white or red oak? I'm looking for a back and side set. There is plenty of oak where I live but it is all pin oak and I really want white or red. Thanks!

Bob at RC tonewood sometimes has White Oak usually quartered and Curly. Bob Tibbets at Guitar Woods also may have some.

I checked at RC already and he doesnt have any right now. I will check at Guitar Woods. I may check some hardwood suppliers but I cant find much at luthier suppliers.
