Maybe you can get Lance to let go of his piece! Otherwise, Colonial had some great looking ziricote last time I looked. Steve is also the King of Koa, and the Baron of Brazilian...

You might check Hibdon Hardwoods, I've gotten some very nice Ziricote from them before.

There is a strong chance that I'll have some Ziricote sets in mid to late August. I've waited a year and a half for this lumber and I really had to call in favors in Mexico to get it. So fingers crossed, I'll have quite a few nice sets in the coming months.
Ziricote is becoming impossible to find these days. So if you all can get your hands on some nice sets now or down the road I STRONGLY suggest you do so. Hibdon does have some nice Ziricote sets and you might want to give them a call to see what they have in stock.

If anyone is looking for classical sized sets, I have a few left.
