I’m looking for an internet source for figured walnut. Would anyone have a source? Not looking for eBay or Etsy.

Thanks. Neil

This isn't an "internet source" and is local for me. But they may ship it out for you.

I just finished a stair newel and handrail project using some very nice figured walnut from Jefferies.

Jefferies is fairly high on some wood but at times they do get some very nice stuff. I got some quilted maple once and the last trip some nice figured 8/4 sapele. The plank on the left is 14" wide, the other about 10" - I plan to use them for woodturning.

Other times I can't find much with figure. They get new wood in all the time so some is luck I guess. I'm still looking for more maple like this. Eric, if you ever see any like that let me know!!

I’d have to check the drawing I made but from memory roughly 36” long by 7-8” wide. Need 4-5 pieces. Using for drawer faces for a desk I’m making my wife.

Of the places Ed mentioned above I am a satisfied customer of both goby and cook. I have no idea how much shipping would be on what the OP is looking for.

If you don't find enough that suits you or matches up well, you might consider buying figured veneer or resawing a figured board in to thin veneer-link pieces. You could bookmatch pieces on the drawer fronts for a stunning look.
