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...
(The wax hides much of the curl and color)
Exotic Ziricote Lumber Wood Turning 3x3x12 Free Shipping Flute Peppermill Blank | eBay

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

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.
"IF" you look hard enough, and long enough you can get some really great buys on the internet...
