Exotic / High Grade Wood Near Montana

[treillw]

Any great places for rarer, special wood in Montana or the nearby states?

Looking for pretty highly figured walnut or maple, bolivian rosewood, or other cool exotics.

Would be open to other rosewoods that are similar to the bolivian and walnut in color.

I travel all over MT and the nearby states frequently. Going to TX soon, etc.

Shipping is an option, as long as it's not ridiculous. I need 30-45 board feet.

Thanks!

Helena Hardwoods has a pretty good variety.

Northwest Timber out of Oregon has some great figured hardwoods. They ship quick.

It would help to know what you are using it for- a table or gun stock....all would be different criteria.

So many small time guys selling various slabs and such. ETSY has some....heck, even Craigslist.

But if you are making a walnut stock for a rifle, best to use a bigger outfit that has cured it properly.

Most major cities have a specialized hardwoods seller of some sort. What part of Montana are you in?
