I'm in the middle of making a left handed guitar for my brother and just got short notice notification that I'll be deploying in 5 weeks for half a year. As a result I'm scrambling trying to finish up this guitar and am looking to buy a rosewood bridge to save time. Does anybody know where I can get a decent left handed bridge? I found a place online and ordered one, but their idea of rosewood was some cheap wood stained dark red (I have no idea what the wood really is). Any help finding a good supplier would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

LMI has a Martin-style Ebony left-handed bridge:

EDIT:
Never mind, I now see that you need Rosewood. Sorry about that...

you could of course buy a bridge blank, and router the saddle slot in situ ...(ditto string holes )
