Well I'm officially on "The List"... and while I have a long time to wait, it gives me a long time to look for the perfect wood. So where besides burlsource.us should I be looking and what should I look out for?

By the look of burlsouce.us's PDIB section the wood needs to be 5 & 7/8" x 2 & 3/16" x 1 & 3/16" or larger, and I read that it should not be stabilized type A only type B (I assume only needed if it's not from burlsource.us)

I'm looking for a heavy pattern, either very swirly with lots of circles

or the exact opposite kind of look with heavy stripes

There is a piece for sale right now that I like the look of, what do you guys think?

Any advice on what to look for and where to look? Also how early is too early to buy the wood and have it sent to Peter?

Thanks in advance for the help/comments. I know you guys (and gals) like to talk about hard wood so I figured this is the place to ask.... :D

swirly with lots of circles = Burl
heavy stripes = curl

Hah, thanks. That will help when looking.

I'll add one too. Swirl will probably be stronger than curl. More resilient, anyway. Curl is organized, and in organized structures, there's patterns of both strength and weakness. . . . . . . . . . probably .. . .. . . much of the time . . . . . . maybe.
