What if I want a different kind of wood?

The woods above are just a sample of the kinds of wood we have or can get on short order. We are listing these because they are popular with our customers and are very durable, stable woods. If you have a particular wood in mind or want to know if we have anything interesting on hand, just drop us a note and we'll be glad to help. We love to talk wood!!! (If you have a chunk of very special wood, we'd love to make a custom tipper for you out of it. Write for details.) (custom_orders@fiddlers-grove.com)
