There is a local hardwood dealer in my town that has both an ebay store and a website. www.cookwoods.com
I have been buying my exotics from them for about 3 years now. They have always treated me right, but are a little on the expensive side for certain things.

Hey Ryan where are you located? If you happen to be anywhere near Nor Cal. or the Pacific north west I can hook you up with a burl dealer I get maple and redwood from.

Bob Winter in St Pete has great prices and great wood. His stock is always changing. He often has unusual woods (everything grows here and he just came back from a buying trip in NC). well worth a drive.
