Me. I have some great one piece sets in all grades but I am in the UK. If you are in the US try Noteable Tonewoods or even Winkler in Hilo. I'm also sure that if it is for a single project, a visit to a local luthier may help.

Umm, Pete is in Europe, no? Okay, an island off Europe, but so is Greece, and Venice.
If you're looking for wood JUST for a SB on a Standard, I'll go on a limb and say "Non-existent". You should be able to find a full set, but probably not a Koa SB. Keep this in mind so you can plan to buy the whole set in your search for a SB.
Now, if you happen upon a builder who has an unmatched SB that he (or she) is willing to part with (as Pete had already mentioned), then you're lucky, and should snatch it up.
Question: For a Standard, why would you look for a Koa SB and not a full set?

( I like Brukos one piece sides on thier ukes I would think it impossible to get a piece of Koa that does it. )
Wouldn't Koa and Mahogany Sound amazing together?
EDIT: Front & back Koa and Sides Mahogany? maple neck Ebony fret board??? The possibilities! I need to look up some beautiful wood combos.
