Where to find QS 8/4 beech

Now I can't find any 8/4 QS stcok locally. Looks like the diffuse-pourous woods like Beech, Maple and Birch would be the choice with Beech being the standard I guess. Anyone know of a good source of quarter-sawn lumber on the web that will sell in small quantities (say 20bd-ft)?
Thanks in advance,
Ken

>I found 8/4 QS beech on ebay. Patience is necessary, though, since it doesn't come up that much. And it took more than 1 auction to get what I was looking for.

Nope. Why not email her?

Good advice! Think I'll take it.
I'd still like to accumulate the real stuff for late r though.
