John, I would think that Volcano Guitar Works, one of the sponsors, would be the first port of call. Colin |

John, this ebay vendor sometimes has large pieces of koa. http://stores.ebay.com/Woodbay-Company_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3 amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm I've dealt with them and no problems. They also sometimes have large nice pieces of Alaska yellow cedar. Ron |

Bro, I've gotten some neck stock from Doug @ Volcano before, and also from Bruce Creps at Noteable Woods. Either source would have great stuff. SK |

it looks very similar and costs about 1/2 or so as much whilst having very similar tonal characteristics. give tim at australian tonewoods,another sponsor, a hoy and see what he could do for you. |
