Note:
Above bundles are approximately 5 sq. ft. surfaced and wide belt sanded to thickness. Sizes are random 3″ – 6″ wide, 18″ – 36″ long.
These bundles are selected for quality and color to meet the needs of the discriminating craftsman. Minimum order of $50 unless ordered with other lumber. FedEx Ground shipping charges will be added.
 
I recently bought 2 kilos (4.5lbs) of very nice sawn castello boxwood offcuts from this UK company - pieces up to 10x2x1 and down to 6x1x1 in size. Good colour, no shakes or splits and dry. about $50 including shipping. They are not particularly geared to serving modelmakers - but the range and variety of their stock is amazing.

 
Just saw this string of posts which is a great idea. My go-to for years when I need Swiss pear, Castello, Alaskan yellow cedar or holly has been Gilmer Woods. I just checked their website and they do not show Swiss pear in stock but everything else is there as well as a number of other species including ebony. https://www.gilmerwood.com/
