A whole heck of a lot of Australian Blackwood (aka Tasmanian Blackwood, Acacia Blackwood) is available in short log form a tree removal company.
It's free if you're local (Oakland CA), heck they'll even deliver a truckload to you for free (some has been split for firewood, but a lot of it isn't) Some of it looks quite good to my eyes, and about the right size to be cut up/quartered for Uke bodies. You can just go by and get it, any quantity.
[Edit: I'm removing my offer to ship some, for various reasons, sorry]
Here's a picture of the truckload of it and link to the craigslist posting:
