Hi folks, Anyone have a good source for some curly koa binding and head plate material? Allied has some but it says it’s not great curl and is fairly expensive. Brad Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I don’t know if they have bindings specifically but koa they have, might be worth a call.. http://www.notablewoods.com/woods/koa.html |

I have searched all sources and haven’t found any. I miss it. I used it often. |

Fortunately I purchased several guitars worth from Bob Gleason some years ago, I’ve got one set left I’ll use on a BRW 000 I have in progress. Bob doesn’t sell it anymore so I did a search and even ordered some from other places but haven’t been able to find any of the good stuff either. Steve |

They have medium curl boards that can be cut to binding and head plates. Seems the higher quality stuff is hard to come by. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I haven't searched for sources, but have you considered curly mango or curly Australian/Tasmanian blackwood as alternatives? They can look a lot like curly koa. |
