Most if not all of the work I do requires good but plain wood, nothing fancy.
However, I have a couple of projects in mind for which I would like to use heavily figured wood, especially flamed or quilted maple, and burr (or burl, whatever!) walnut and chestnut (buckeye).
I know it may be hard to come across and will cost, but where would be the best place/ timber yard to start?
It is beyond the scope of the merchants I normally use, and I have no idea where to start! I have had a good look at the 'timber merchants map sticky' but to no avail. Is it a secret? [-( ](*,)
Cheers
