Re. commission for segmented bowls, looking for ~20 BF of plain, rough sawn, KD, 4/4 walnut lumber in Austin area, #1 common or maybe FAS, depending upon price. Knowing that the Austin area is a veritable hotbed of woodturners and woodworkers, thought someone here could suggest a company they have dealt with. Thanks for your help.

Fine Lumber off of Brown Lane in north Austin. They have everything you mentioned, plus a lot more.

Thanks again guys. Got what I needed at Fine Lumber and only took about $10 worth of gas. My wife wanted me to get most of the turning blocks until she saw the prices. The 4/4 walnut is rough planed to about 15/16 and you can pick your boards and try to color match. Not quite FAS grade but better than #1 Common for $5.63/bf.
