Re: Looking for: Stone (Umbrella) Pine

Aug 14, 2003 5 Replies

Let me go ahead and expand on this a little...



I'm actually looking for a specific selection of wood species, and have had success in finding most of them. I was hoping that some of you may have some suggestions on where I could find the remaining. Specifically I'm in the hunt for the following woods:


  • almond (either amygdalus communis or prunus dulcis)
  • fig (ficus carica)
  • pomegranate (punica granatum)
  • Acacia (acacia seyal)
  • Italian Stone Pine (pinus pinea) or sometimes called Umbrella Pine

Ideally these would be figured or burl, but straight-grained would be fine...after all, something is better than nothing!



Thanks in advance for your help,


- Randy


Tony,

I bet if you published you list somewhere on line there would be a lot of folks that would be willing to help with you collection.

. They're located just North ofBoston, but they do ship. And the selection of exotic woods they have isprobably one of the most diverse and eclectic I've run across on theInternet.-- Ali T. Borahan AliSails - Fine Wood Artistry & Custom Woodcrafts Web URL:
