I wish I could help. When I buy exotics, its usually from Woodcraft. I know I spend more in the long run, but I don’t have to buy a minimum qty, so my cost at the time of sale is something I can stomach. I’ve heard great things about Bell Forrest though. www.bellforrestproducts.com. My father in laws cousin scrounges estate sales and auctions, and finds some amazing deals on lumber that way. But he’s retired, and has the time to find that needle in a haystack. I can’t wait to see what you might be making with this beefy exotic lumber. You have me intrigued! I don’t suppose you could build it with domestic lumber or plywood, and then veneer it with the exotic stuff?
