   Well, Lee Valley doesn't seem to carry it.  If you don't find a CAN source, try:

   Thanks.  I tried Lee Valley first as we have a store here in town.  I checked out that web site, but it looks like they only ship to the lower 48, which we are not one of  . . . . . yet :)

   There is a place in Vancouver that imports buttonlac, but they are out of stock.  They import it from India and might be able to get some in a couple of months.  I have 8 chairs sitting in my shop that I need to get finished before that.  Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

   Thanks

   Here's their home page:http://www.kremer-pigmente.de/englisch/homee.htm

   Thanks for your help, I am going to try the Can. site first to avoid import duties and God knows what other expenses.  A co-worker just ordered some T-shirts from IAFF and they ended up costing nearly $30 each once exchange our friendly taxation guys got through with him.

   Thanks.  Woodessence looks like a winner and the prices seem to be the same in Can $ as the US site and I will avoid all the duty balogna of bringing something into the country.

   You can also try Woodfinishingsupplies.com. He ships to Canada, and has a link on his site to a Canadian company, Wood Essence Distributing.

   Thanks to all. 

   I heard back from Wood Essence this morning and hopefully should have some of that buttonlac in my hot little hands by very early next week . . . . .   if the posties don't go on strike!

   cheers
