I have really depleted what was once a good supply and variety of pen blanks (mostly hardwood or stabilized woods). I really need to stock up but am curious about who you all believe is a good, trustworthy online supplier that has reasonable and fair prices. Consistently. I am a loyal customer but want a good product. My local retail stores seem to have less inventory these days and I'm ready to buy more online but it makes me a little nervous to buy without seeing. I have bought lots of stuff from all the most common online pen turning sites, like all of you, but mostly components and supplies--not wood or stabilized blanks. Any thoughts?
Part 2 of my query is re: stabilizing services. I have zero interest in getting into stabilizing. But I bought some flame buckwood burl blanks the other day through Etsy and didn't realize they weren't stabilized. They are gorgeous pieces of wood but I want to stabilize them before turning. Online searches were a little confusing and so I thought I'd reach out for recommendations if any of you have used or provide stabilization services. Thanks.
PS I'm still looking for more flame (red/pink) stabilized boxelder burl if anyone has any or a source.
