Does anyone know of a source for koa purflings? Or ideally, black/koa/
black or some similar purfling?

Gurian. Lance and I are placing an order for these now. How many do you need? Maybe we could spare a few.

I was about to write, "with a minimum order under 250." I'd love to
get some from you guys. I can't seen needing more than four.

I have koa purfs but they are Koa/maple/Koa and are faily wide at .028/.012/.028 inches x .080. Alternatively you could purchase some koa bindings and cut your own purfs if you have a good saw and a nice blade. I know where you can get Koa bindings as well !

Brock, I just had to say that the spirit of this forum amazes me. People don't just share their knowledge, but their resourses. Swap, share, sell, or give. I see it all here in such a "family" atmosphere. You guys should be so proud of what you have here.

Just had to suck up for a moment. Done. I bet those are great purflings.

James, you could always cut your own from Koa veneer.
Or, better yet, just get Brock to send you some.

James, Bobc, the zootster, will make up purfling any way you want it.

Thanks a bunch! I had no idea BobC made purflings up. I should be
getting my wood in from him this coming week.

I love the spirit of this group of people too!

Thank you for your help, everyone. Shane is sending me some koa and
black purfs that I'll be able to laminate on my own!
