Where to buy small amounts of nicely figured wood?

[MarkDennehy]

Hi folks, quick question - is there a decent source online for small amounts of nicely figured wood like walnut? I'm thinking of stuff like the lid of a small (~8"x5"x4") box for jewellery and the like. Normal walnut and that kind of thing is reasonably available over here, but I'm thinking of something that might look like the lid of this if finished properly (and in the video it's clearly solid, rather than a veneer):

or even this...

A knife maker friend in Italy told me about this site Mark. Never used them but they have a good site. Might be worth a look? http://www.feinesholz.de/messergriffblo ... apfelbaum/

Thanks guys, those are exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of. I might resaw one of those knife handle blanks and bookmatch them for a lid.
