Traditional or alternative?
Prepped or un-prepped?
Single or Multipiece?
Budget?
David Dyke is always worth a call for traditional or more exotic stuff, but bare in mind a lot of luthier supply houses will assume you have the skills to fully prep the wood and don't assume 2-piece means the same as centre joined 2-piece. essentally, make sure you ask for what you want and David is great. Just order a 2-piece alder bdy blank without saying anything else and you will get some great wood that may need a bit more work or may not be what you had in mind... just let him know what you have in mind

At the other end of the spectrum you can pop to allparts and order an ash or alder body blank that is so fully prepped you can pop a template on and build with it with no more work. but you end up paying a lot more for the convienience. The wood is usually comparable to decent fender stuff

As an alternative I recently ordered some wood from sherwin timber on ebay. Its none traditional stuff like Idigbo and meranti, but it was a very good price and nicely prepped so it just needed glueing up the multipiece bodies. I have not tried the ash or sapelle and wouldn't without going to check it out, both can be very heavy
worth lookign in the body blank section - but have a looka round the rest of the shop too... i got an idigbo mantlepiece for very little money, and it makes a very large body blank once cut in half

there are also a couple of other guys where the websites are never up to date but if you have specific requirements its worth giving them a call to see what they have
