Try Hank Mauel right here on the forum. Send him a PM, he checks in from time to time or you can get his email address here. He generally has lots of very nice redwood.John How38756.6140740741

Beat me to it John, Hank Mauel is the guy. Paddy, Russell tells me Hank supplies George Lowden with his Redwood. I've got one of Hank's tops and it is as good as it gets, it's on my build schedule this year with a curly Mahogany B&S for a classic Redwood/Mahogany OM.

The 4 sets I've got from Hank (A TB for a parlour, a TA and a couple of gorgeous, stripey FA sets) is some of the nicest topwood in my stash. And I've got quite a bit of really nice Euro.

you might also check out Dave Maize. I've gotten great redwood from
him in the past at very attractive prices.
