The really good straight grained stuff you have not been able to import into the states since 1968 due to CITES. The only stuff you can get is stump wood. Look for a local luthier or try looking outside of the US. It might be easier to find Amazon rosewood. Personally, using Brazilian is like using ivory, at least in my mind. It is an endangered species, look for an alternative.
Hey Pete, Not cheap by any means but Mitch at Tropical Hardwoods of Latin Amerca in Carlsbad, CA had really nice chocolate with black streak Brazilian Rosewood last time I was there. Not stump wood. I bought several pieces on a previous trip including some fall off pieces large enough for points. The wood Mitch has or had was said to have been brought into the country in the 1950's. Give them a call.
