Besides Uschi van der Rosten in Germany, anybody else making 1/48 scale wood grain decals available here in the US?

I have recently seen these items, and they look interesting.

Not sure how well they work, but have been tempted.

That looks interesting, specially the second stencil. My only concern is that it can't be used on irregular surfaces with molded on details like some parts of the front and bottom fuse/wing area of the Albatros where a decal can be conformed or trimmed around them.
