They have a decent wood shop and they stock cherry, black walnut, oak, maple, and occassionally red cedar. You can special order the more common exotic hardwoods but the more exotics are not carried. I am sure they would not be able to order Granadillo. There are three CW users in the area that I know of.
About 5 hours out.. Not sure why I thought Shreveport was closer. I'm active Marine down on the Naval base south of NOLA. I frequent a place called Riverside Lumber over here and they have most anything and can special order most if they don't have it so long as you have the money to back it.
