Try the Japan Woodworker in Alameda, California.
<http://www.japanwoodworker.com/>
will take you there. They have more neat stuff for you to spend money on
than you can believe. You'll never be able to buy wood until you give
them half of your net worth for neat tools.

Been there, done that. In fact the guys from the Small Boat Shop at the
SF National Maritime Museum were on their way over there for a tool fix
just this morning.
