I did a number of searches and most of what I find are old threads and general discussions, not sources.
What I have is a lady who has selected a pen style and would like something interesting or historical for the blank. She'll be gifting this to her husband. Who according to her words "collects anything and everything interesting".
So I'm pretty wide open here and obviously went down the list of the basics like holy wood, bog, old family furniture or family structure and none of those really sparked her interest. He has some pool cues already that use "old" woods.
Not really sure where to look for this kind of stuff. Any suggestions for interesting blanks?
I will definitely need to buy from a source that will provide a CoA as she would like to present the pen and framed CoA together.
We're not firm on a budget but I'm thinking ideally under 50.00 and could probably push upwards of 200 if it could maybe get me a few blanks and was something truly special.
I did get the impression that unique and interesting might carry more weight than historical. Which could actually be easier on the bottom line.
So where does one go for requests like this.
