Jeff

Marlin Watkins is the only call maker I know who uses Kwila, you might give him a call

I see they sell stock for turning bowls but maybe you can give them a call and tell them what you're looking for.

this Curious woods is a online store that does not serll online ---it is a walk in only opperation from what I gather looking at their website as well as their parent company whis is Curtis woods. Go figure...have a website that refuses online or phone orders. Buisness sure must be good up there. I wish I could get in touch with them---I want to try some of this stuff.
