eBay Vendors?

[phsv]

Sorry if this has been asked here before, but I searched with no avail.

Can anyone recommend any eBay sellers for wood blanks?

Thank you in advance.

I would just suggest you post here what your looking for and see what the members here can do for you. I've gotten some of the best wood blanks I've ever seen from members here and I didn't have to bid them up to get them.

That makes sense. Making my way on to the marketplace.

I do not buy blanks, but do buy slabs of burl and other premium wood. I highly recommend Hiromi54. Another turner recommended him to me. His prices are not cheap, nor is his shipping, but his timber is great.....and he is great to work with.

About a year ago when first starting I bought a box of 80 blanks for $80 on ebay. 79 are still in the box. Nuff said. Nothing wrong with the blanks it's just that the vendor sell superior products which they will back up.

There are a few IAP members that sell on eBay, you will also find some IAP members that sell on IAP, and you will find IAP members that sell on IAP, on eBay and on their private web-stores.

Have a look at the Vendors section, have a look also on the IAP, advertising section...!

Best of luck...!

Thank you for your input guys. Since I have some cutting tools, I will consider buying slabs of premium wood.

Check joelinhawaii3 he sells nice looking timber from the big island. he has listings every week.

Your best bet at saving time and money is to use the Vendors listed at the top of the Home Page here are IAP.

I can provide you with thousands of domestics. Figured and burl maple is my speciality. This is probably my last year of selling blanks, so let me know in a private message.

I would also recommend WoodBarter.com There are saywers on there as well as flat workers and turners, and many people will trade wood for wood.

There are sawyers here, I happen to know one really well.....

I would HIGHLY recomend George's blanks. He goes the extra mile to make sure they are awesome! Shipping is from Aus.. and adds a few days to the delivery, but well worth the wait!

I think my biggest issue with getting those special perfect blanks is being afraid I will mess them up! But I am getting enough confidence in my turning skills to realize, yes I will mess some up, but the ones I succeed with will be even more awesome with the best woods.

Yeah Mitch I hear you. I still get bummed about messing up a $1 blank but I honestly try to take it all as a learning experience.
