Looking for Big Leaf Maple

[Richrue]

Trying to find some big leaf maple blocks that are 2" x 2" and at least 5 inches long. Doesn't need to be figured or burl

thank you

I'd check with @Mike1950 - He always has Bigleaf Maple. Though the stuff he has usually is nicely figured or burled, I wonder if he might not also have some straight grained stuff hiding somewhere.

I have regular hard Maple.. is that what you need, or is big leaf maple a different species?

Hard maple about 1200 on JANKA scale, i think big leaf is 800

I figured there was a difference... I buy Hard Maple board ends by the skid, but don't think I have any big leaf maple..
