While in Bandon Or. I visited American Western Exotic Hardwoods where I purchased some fine looking spalted maple pieces. While there is no web site for this place they do sell on ebay. He has a large inventory of woods that may be of interest to bowl makers and the like. I can give you his contact information if you pm me.

Also, for anyone who hasn't found this site yet: Woodfinder Marketplace

Ebony is a black wood though it is hard to find and very expensive. For round eyes l have taken pieces of dowel and rounded them on a sanding wheel. When I get the shape that I want I stain them with ebony stain.
