I'm wrapping up a project that's been in storage for too long. It's a cedar chest based on this design:
![[Image: vintage_1950s_cedar_blanket_lane_hope_ch..._2_lgw.jpg]](http://ancientpoint.com/imgs/a/f/w/y/w/vintage_1950s_cedar_blanket_lane_hope_chest_with_cushion_top_with_key_2_lgw.jpg)
The inserts in my design are about 8"x12" and I'd like a nice burl or something with interesting grain. I can resaw a larger block, or even use veneer.
Problem is I need a source -- anyone got any they'd suggest?

I've heard good things about
CertainlyWood.com but I've not used them before.
I know others here have bought from them and reported good things.

Constantines may just fit your needs. And
Joe WoodWorker has a lot of options.

Thanks for the leads -- I'm checking into them.

I have some walnut veneer if you are interested. Some is very curly walnut and some is more of a figured burl. I can get pictures and post here or email to you, just let me know if you are still looking.
Thanks,

Mike,
I have quite a bit of curly walnut veneer. I will check to see what I have and bring it over when I get a chance to come over to borrow your lathe.
Oh snap, still getting my settings correct. Did not see Jason's reply.
The stuff I have came from Jason's stash and I am closer, and I can deliver seeing that I need to use your lathe.
