I stumbled upon this site. They've got some fantastic photos of some exotic lumber grains...
enjoy!

That is some incredible stuff. They do ship, if you have that special project in mind, it won't be hard to meet their minimum, especially if you let other members know that you're placing an order, and they can piggy-back on it. Dave

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

I have bought wood from them twice. They have a $100 minimum and the shipping will kill you but they have wood like you wouldn't believe. I bought some waterfall bubinga turning squares that were to die for.... I get excited about pretty wood.

Ok, that link killed 2 hours of my time and I still didn't get through it all.

Now I'm back to wishing I had infinite money......
