Official Luthiers Forum!

Greetings all,

I have been trying to find some unique wood lately, and I have been having a difficult time locating a good source (other than the usual suspects like lmii etc).

I was wondering if any of you might want to share some of your sources?

Currently looking for a slab of Macassar ebony for a solid body carved top, but most of the stuff I find is either too short, or not wide enough....Same for Cocobolo...

Here is the look I am going after....

Try Grant Goltz. He has some beautiful cocobolo as well as tons of other exotics. The Zoot man also has some gorgeous stuff.

Try RCTonewoods, link at the top of every page in the sponsor section. If he doesn't have it, he can usually find/get it.

Hi,

Do you have a web address for Grant Goltz?

David

anexotichardwood.com
Thats the web address for Tropical Exotic Harwoods of Latin America, LLC. He's in Carlsbad, CA just North of San Diego. I stop in and pick up stuff every time I'm there, but he really does have a LOT of cocobolo. Cheap on some stuff, more expensive on others. Mitch is always a good source to try out if you've exhausted the sponsors.
Tip: Even if you don't see it on a sponsors website, give them a call...they might have it and just haven't had time to update the web.

Try any of the sponsors listed at the top of the page. Most of these guys have a much larger selection than what you see on their web page. Don't be afraid to call.
