I have a 100' maple tree down on the ground right now. The base is a solid maple log about 20' tall by 2.5 foot at the base, 1.5 foot diameter 20' off the ground. It fell down last winter. You'll welcome to stop by my place, mill the wood into boards, and take it home with you for no charge. Send me a direct message and I'll tell you how to get there. No guarantees that it is quilted maple.

(Yes, I'm rubbing in the abundance of maple we have here in Northwestern Washington. I don't have any great lumber sources but know of lots of great lumber still standing straight and tall.)
