   I don't have the magazine as I'm at work now.

   For the veneer you want, I'd recommend Constantine's.  http://www.constantines.com is their website and they are wonderful folks to work with.  If you call them and tell them what you want, they'll figure out a way to get it you.

   Good luck!

   I've ordered from them before.  This project does not call for veneer however.  The raised panels for the tombstone doors are resawn from one board so they will be bookmatched.  THe drawers have a 1/4 or 3/8 inch highly figured facing, if I remember the article correctly.

   Try http://www.woodply.com   They may have what you are looking for.  I call it figured walnut.  They should understand what you want if you describe it to them.

   There is a place called Irvin's saw mill in PA, I don't recall their web page, (I may have their name wrong also, but it is close).  They carry some highly figured woods.

   Groff & Groff, in Quaryville, Pa, has figured woods. You can call them on an 800 #, they have no web site to my knowledge. It is a great Sat. morning trip! Dig through the piles, buy what you want at fair prices. They take it from tree to KD cabinet grade wood. Esp. strong on domestics. They will ship.

   The Crotch refers to the part of the tree the wood is from; specifically, the part of the tree where it forks the first time. Figure is a generic term that refers to the way the grain looks on a sawn board. Technically, all boards have figure, but usually is means there is an interesting figure. Flame, I think, is a term that describes curly figure.
