Just to follow up..... OP had some wood but not a huge selection. I did get some nice honey locust and lace wood. I did drop by UTC Hardwood in Branson. Really nice people and a nice selection of domestics. He had a piece of Birdseye maple that was 4.5 inches wide full of eyes. Should make 20 pots. Just turned a pot yesterday and the wood is fine. Can't wait to get it assembled!
