BTW, birdseye does exist in European maple, but it seems to be rare indeed... I've seen it over in Bosnia, but if it gets into the hands of tonewoods suppliers, it carries a big price tag... So-ooo, the US is probably your best bet... |

Prices in Germany are completely insane. I feel really sorry for my fellow musicians who are not able to communicate internationally.
I buy almost all my stuff in the US or China/Hong Kong. I found www.northridgehardwoods.com to be a good source for maple neck blanks.

If your friend speaks German, this might be a forum to look at: http://www.gearbuilder.de/forum/ - plenty of links to German suppliers to be found.
I personally had good experiences with this Spanish tonewood supplier (reasonable prices & shipping): http://www.madinter.com |

I've seen some bosnian exotic maple but the nice peaes are all cut for violins and are expensive... |

But it's not "German" maple, as a lot of folks think... I was in a log yard near Liverpool many years ago buying English Sycamore logs, and there was a well-known German tonewood dealer buying the same thing, which magically became "German Maple" when it hit Germany... So-ooo, you might try going to England to get your maple (AKA "sycamore")... It's a lot cheaper... |
