YOU CAN BUY THE WOOD AT LUTHIERS MERCANTILE. YOU CAN BUY THE FITTINGS AT STEWART-MACDONALDS. THE REST IS UP TO YOU. BOTH OF THE ABOVE ARE ON THE INTERNET AND DO MAIL ORDERS.
I ASSUME YOU'VE GOT A BENDING IRON, A PLANE, ABOUT THREE DOZEN BODY CLAMPS, A GOOD SELECTION OF SAWS, FILES, KNIVES, SCRAPERS, SOME MEANS OF ROUTING OUT THE BINDING AND THE ROSETTE DEPRESSION, A BLUEPRINT OF WHERE THE INTERNAL STRUTS GO, SOME HIDE GLUE AND A LOT OF SPARE TIME.... |

LMIi probably won't have anything Weiss-sized. I've gotten a lot of my sets off eBay. There are guys there that specialize in Koa and also Weiss sets on there.
I have some lower grade sets I'd let go (very good quality wood, just not high figure). They will need joining and final thicknessing. |

Another place to try is Todd Taggart's, Alliedlutherie.com. He is the former owner of LMI.
Good wood and good people. |
