There's no really steady suppliers of spalted woods that I know of, you kinda just have to wait and buy up some when it shows.

 I have some spalted Sweet Gum that is drying right now if you're looking. I'd stabilize it, but it's pretty solid.

Check out the forum on CCO...I noticed a fellow had some spalted hackberry and some other stuff for sale over there.

Try this guy.  He seems to be a wood hound.  Not sure if its dry though?  let us know what you find out.  Seems to always have spalted wood available.  He advertises on craigslist.  Place is 45min from here.  Always been meaning to stop in and check it out.

The spalted stuff on CCO is nice.  I got some just for kicks. :devil2:
