sawmillsman Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 I want to make a violin back of tiger-striped walnut (the finer and deeper. the better). does anyone have or know where I can find some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
difalkner Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Welcome to the forum! I've bought from Jewell Hardwoods and find them very easy to deal with and a great inventory of Walnut. https://jewellhardwoods.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 I have some. If you ask nicely, I may leave an off cut to you in my will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

difalkner Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 I've also bought from Talarico Hardwoods since the mid 80's. They have a section called Wood Porn with some fantastic pieces - http://www.talaricohardwoods.com/woodporn.htm David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That piece on the right would be something else book matched. I hate to even ask what the price is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, when the pics opened, "Hey girl, Heyyyyyyyy" popped into my mind. If that don't fit the bill, nothing would. With that said, luthiers are all about their kit. There a bunch of etailers that cater to them. I'd start there in the gargle machine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
