I did check first with Zootman and he has QS but no FS koa. Don't see anything on OLF's other sponsors websites but hoping, if someone does, they will chime in. I'll check with Volcano. Thanks, Lance. Nelson |

Nelson, Try Bruce Creps at http://www.notablewoods.com as he carries some seconds and perhaps some flat sawn offcuts. Ray |

http://www.curlykoa.com/ This fellow saws his own koa to sell sets. I expect if you ask him, he would cut you some flat peices next time. Also, he might have some chunks laying around that you could buy and cut yourself. |
