So far LorAnns has been the truest. FSUSA sells FlavourArt which is not bad. Personally, Perfumer's Apprentice has not impressed me. Ms T's sells LorAnns which I imagine is what they use for their joose.

Kingwood, not shown. Its got some very special inlays, that's going to take me a little bit of time.

Still working on yours B, it'll be worth the wait, I promise.
Ok little update, if you don't see yours, I'm still working on it, sorry.
VV's requested and general sale
3.7v requested and general sale
Now off to be rounded...
and my god black palm if the devil! I don't think I could find a more difficult wood to work with.
Nope that's a solid TN Red Cedar one. Yours is in the stack lacking down behind the bottom group 3rd from right. Its the last piece of bright canary I have and its got a knot I'm hardening before routing it.
is it the bright one peeking out in that stack ??
If so- yeaaaaa!!! Can't wait to see it-hold it- love it -LOL !!

I take it its challenging? This should be good one to watch then. Is the wood fighting back?
I can hardly wait. Maybe the IVORY or tusk, whatever it is will be easy. Im wondering if Buck horn would work as an inlay? Works on a knife?
I hope it's not giving you too much trouble as it looks to be a very popular choice for caps and inlays.
I see mine too. Wenge/Black Palm... Yeah baby. I'm doing the happy dance right now.
The black palm is just a pain because its a whole lot of very hard fibers held together with a softer wood between them. It likes to splinter and rip apart on the router even after I've hardened it.
The ivory for the kingwood has to be sanded down really slow so it didn't heat up and crack.
I'm still trying to find 1/4 strips of mother of pearl for banjar's

I actually didn't think that was seriously an option but I know whoever ordered them should be very happy. I think the Kingwood and ivory will be so awesome, I've seen furniture with those combos, VERY classy and expensive furniture, so the mod should be beautiful
Mike...dunno if you've found any locally...but have you tried looking on eBay? They have all different color variations for MOP... I found this one, but don't know if it would be a size that works for ya:

LOL..ain't that the truth. Well, was just browsing ebay and thought I'd give it a shot fer ya. I couldn't find anything longer than the last link I put in that post tho 
From what I was seeing on eBay...looks like the longest pieces would be best found somewhere where they make instruments, specifically guitars...or a place that makes custom knives
look at websites for billiards cue making supplies. They have a lot of stuff for inlays. You can get mop, ivory, whatever you might need. All sized specifically for inlay work.
