Violin making tools supplier

These are the sources of tonewood I’ve been able to compile. Keep in mind, I’m located in the US. My personal opinion as a complete novice who hasn’t even really started making his first instrument is that it’s probably best to source wood from other maestronet users if you can.

Hi guys , my name is Arsalan and I make violin as a hobby , I have almost finished my first violin ,,, I appreciate if anyone has a list of suppliers or tell me which supplier would you recommend for tools and also for tonewood 

thank you all 

I've found the Chinese made finger planes on ebay to be fine for what I do, I prefer them to the one brand name plane I have.

Howard Core is a good supplier. Some tools can also be found at places like Woodcraft, or Rockler.

What's the secret to opening up with HC?  They ignored my request, eventho' I have a Resale Cert. 

JSB Wholesale and International Violin were no problem, and I miss International Luthiers Supply.

I purchased a lot of Carving Tools from Frank Mittermier, Inc. before the Dastra Tool Line was acquired by Diefenbacher. https://diefenbacher.com/dastra-woodworking-tools/
