Looking for stabilized wood

I'm looking for some stabilized jade wood in 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" square.
Any body know where I can find some?
I remember talk of a suplier of stabilized woods on here but am having trouble finding it using the search feature.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I found reelseatblanks.com but they don't seem to have what I'm looking for.

Regards
Dave

i think you need to contact them to get material in the larger sizes. The web site only shows reel seat size blanks but I believe they have other sizes.

Dave,
In my opinion the absolute best is "Wood Stabilizing Specialists, Intl" in Iowa
stabilizedwood.com
call Mike - 641 435-4746
His method produces the most thorough penetration of resins. But, be prepared - he is not cheap.

Thanks for the info Herb.
Money is not an issue on this build.
I'm putting together a Sage Z-Axis 7136-4 Spey conversion and have some spendy cork, struble reel seat hardware and Fugi TYSG titanium sic's for it.
I have nearly $300 in components already so a few more $$$$ won't kill me. :)

Regards
Dave

Dave,

Reelseat blanks. com has some of their wood stabilized by WSSI in Iowa. Give Steve (reelseatblanks.com on the left) a call and he will take care of you! Great to deal with and great service
