I am looking for pernambuco to make purflings out of. Does anybody know of a source? Thins are ok, or even thick veneers would work ok as well. I found a little on ebay, but it was pretty much junk for my purposes. |

Hi Brock, You might try a search for "Chakte Viga" on Ebay. It is not Pernambuco, and probably would not be at all suitable for a violin bow, but for purflings or even binding, it would give you about the same (burnt orange) look. Dennis |

Gilmer wood generally carries Pernambuco. |

I heard its often used for fence posts in Brazil. We do things different in these parts... http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Hooper-Utah-resident-Rhett-Davis-poses-next-car-fence-Thursday/photo//080804/480/3d14cad943ce4cfe93dc667315f841f8//s:/ap/20080805/ap_on_fe_st/odd_car_fence;_ylt=Am8xRvzPogq4WoqKEx8lnNouQE4F |

gimer have some pernumbuco sometimes, If you cant find local i have some here. Its really expensive becouse the violin folks pay through the nose for it allthough all the stuff i have left has been rejected by the violin bow makers. They need a very specific type to be suitable for bows and its a vary variable wood. I think gilmer will be your best bet, Joel. |

Eisenbrand had some also last time I checked. Gilmer has some long pieces listed in the specials pages which should be good for purfs. |

Cool... thanks. I checked my usual sources before coming to the board. Most seem out of it, or only have stock that won't work well. But these are some good suggestions. Thanks, |
