Maple headstock facing - where to buy?

SteveRobinson

I want to fix up my Martin F-50 which means replacing the headplate which looks like this.

Does anyone know where I can buy similar looking wood of an appropriate thickness? A bit of figuring like this (or a bit more) would be nice

Not maple but very similar Ash...

Thanks @Rabs but I think it's got to be maple for the smooth finish

Thanks again @Rabs, Chris's looks like it might do the job.

I recently bought a flame maple headplate from here to use for a control cavity cover. Lovely figuring and quite cheap.
