I'd suggest getting it from someplace where you can look at the pieces before you purchase them.

Century Mills is pretty good as well. Stouffville.

I've bought cherry from Irion with success and they are very good to work with. I haven't bought maple from them but I wouldn't expect any problems based on my previous experiences.

If you haven't worked with figured woods before I recommend that you get some extra so that you can learn how to work it. Specifically planing, jointing, and finishing will be a new experience. I think you will find this is one of the reasons furniture made out of this wood is so much more expensive. Of course the beauty of the wood is the primary reason.
