Where to get 3x3x3 blanks

[skubasteeve]

I am looking for highly figured wood blanks of this size for some projects, where would be recommended to look?

Thanks in advance.

Cook Woods come to mind.

If you don't need an exotic wood, maybe cut down a 4x4

Try searching for peppermill blanks. Some are 3 x 3 x 12.

Packard Woodworks has curly maple -- Packard Woodworks: The Woodturner's Source: Peppermill Blanks

Woodcraft has Yellow Box Burl -- Buy Yellow Box Burl 3" x 3" x 12" at Woodcraft.com

Green Valley carries some. Not all is kiln dried so watch the descriptions.
Green Valley Wood Products. Turning Blanks 3" X 3"

I have had extremely good results at northwestfiguredwoods.com. Outstanding burl and 3x3 is one of their standard cuts. Nice people, too.

Then again, it really depends on what your definition of 'figured woods' happens to be? To me, figured wood is either burl or any crotch wood that has compression and wild coloring... Either way, you can probably find a really good deal on that forum.

Now if you were looking for some burled, spalted, compressed Southern Red Oak...I happen to know a fella.
