Mike, I have a supplier that has some nice ziricote. I just purchased a piece as matter of fact.

Ziricote is not a cheap wood. Here's the seller I got this same sized piece from...

Here's one of my search parameters for that specific wood. Lots of really nice pieces..

VERY NICE looking piece there Mix!! There is just soooooooo much beautiful wood out there, it's really hard to limit one's self to only a few, especially when you start looking around!! I had to just stop looking...it was making me crazy!
I think if i was going to CUSTOM order one i would order this wood

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!! Tell me you DIDN'T pay that much?! That's just CRAZY EXPENSIVE!!

I'll make a photo albumn of the woods I have bought over the last few months and put it in my profile this weekend. I went out of my way to find very uncommon woods that are "different" from what everyone uses. I want unique wood mods. Some of the woods cost more than the mods if bought from the "wrong" places. Luckily I spend enough time looking that I found some killer deals. For instance, that piece there, from another wood supplier was ~$195. I paid $27 plus shipping. :2cool:
"IF" you look hard enough, and long enough you can get some really great buys on the internet...
