Where is a good place to buy turning blanks?

[micah]

Looking to buy some blanks that are 1.5"x1.5"x12" for some projects. Looking for a large selection of kinds from exotics to domestics.
Thanks!
Micah

Craft Supplies USA has 15% turning blanks for the next five days. Decent selection of both

I picked up a few pieces at Woodcraft awhile ago. Probably available online as well.

Look for a local lumbermill, the one I go to always has some turning goodies.

You may need getting a chain saw and have a look around, you would be surprised what you will find.

Your local dump is possibly a "gold mine" and talking to the local arborist's/tree guys does always get you some good stuff.

If all this fails and you can't find locally what you want, you're welcome to look on my eBay store however, keep in mind that I'm is Australia...!

Good luck,
Cheers

You will need to register and read the rules, but I've had success at woodbarter.com..

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I'll look into them tomorrow.
I'm also looking for a couple blanks in that size for buckeye burl and haven't seen it anywhere. If anyone has any leads on that I would appreciate it!
Thanks!
