Least expensive supplies???

[follow3]

Hello All,

This is a great forum!!!
Thanks to all who participate!!!

I joined some time ago, but haven't been as active as I should. I plan to change that.

I am starting to make more and more pens. In fact I have a list of pens a mile long sold to people for X-mas gifts. I turn mostly Cigar and designer pens and usualy use acrylic blanks.

Where are the least expensive web sites for blanks and kits?
Notice I said "least expensive" not cheap. I still want good quality, but would like to save where I can. I would also like to order from a supplier that helps support the site.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated,
Steve

woodpenpro.com has both the cigar and designer at good prices. He also has acrylics but I haven't looked at the prices on those.

Bear Tooth Woods is a good bet for pen kits and acrylic blanks, and Ernie supports the site quite well. Also try Woodturningz and Arizona Silhouette. Good people, as well. There are many others, but this'll get ya started.

Wooden Whimsies has good prices and is an active member of this site.

I order from Ernie at Bear Tooth Woods, CSUSA and Arizona Silhouettes (AS). AS only ships within the US. For some reason, it seems people leave AS out when it comes to inexpensive. However, when comparing prices on a pen for pen basis with others, he is the usually the same price. I see a lot more selections of pen kits available on his site than any other.

BTW, AS and CSUSA are all good and prices are comparable.

Try Ernie at Bear Tooth Woods if you like plastic. He has ALOT of nice stuff.

All mentioned are excellent. But do not overlook the individuals who sell through the classified section here and at TPS.
