The song, Teddy Bears Picnic, starts: "if you go into the woods today, you'll get a big surprise". That's the wonderful thing about both wood and ukuleles. I've been reintroduced to familiar wood and exposed to exotic wood (interesting term, depending on the size of your island or the furniture in your living room that you grew up with).
In a brief exchange with Matt Clara, he mentioned Texas Ebony and being so new to building, I immediately began my research outside of luthiery resources and worked backwards: here ; here, [URL="http://www.hobbithouseinc.com/personal/woodpics/index.htm"]; and here, [URL="http://www.morlanwoodgifts.com/MM011.ASP?pageno=207"].
Here's the question, what resources do you folks use that might be outside the obvious? Right now I'm emailing a friend in Texas to get a sample of Texas Ebony and I'm wondering what useful "exotics" are growing on your block?
