I never know what's going on in this world but I did stumble across this. https://www.cookwoods.com/collections/ukuleles
Having not bought any wood for a long time from them I was shocked at the price:$200+ a set seems a bit steep to me so what are y'all paying for sets these days? Last lot I bought was guitar sides from Maderas Barber (the company teamed up with Taylor) in Spain. Managed to get decent rosewood sets for $55 after shipping and taxes. Having just checked their site, they are still selling for a good price the more exotic rosewoods like cocobolo and an acoustic guitar side set in Ziricote is around $100..... I also note they have a mill in Canada as well as and office in China.
