    Best online vendor for wood slabs?

    I'm looking for an online store to buy a board for a bathroom countertop.

    I have some specific requirements that I need.
    -Preferably 6/4 to 8/4 thick.
    -Preferably live edge on one side.
    -roughly 10"x24", or can be cut down to that size.
    -Would like something that's a show piece- figured, burl, or unique color (like bubinga or amboyna).

    I found some interesting options on eBay, but I figured I'd see if anyone here has a good online seller they'd reccomend that would have something like this.

    Try cookwood.com. I buy tons of stuff from them, a bit pricey, but top grade stock.

      Perhaps this local vendor can help:

      It's been several years since I last bought from him. I haven't needed anything because I bought a bunch of stock when a few cabinet shops liquidated their stock.

      I was pleased with stock I bought from him in the past. He started selling slabs a few years ago. It looks like mostly walnut and red cedar, but he might be able to help with something more exotic.

        I prefer to buy from local distributors. I like seeing what I'm buying.

          There's a guy from SW Michigan who usually has some unique slabs--posts on LumberJocks.com Mostly domestic, but some quality stuff and has a good following on LJ.
