Round bottle stopper blanks- anyone have?

[angboy]

I want some round bottle stopper blanks in some cool, funky colors, mainly of purple and tealish-blue colors and just can't seem to find anything. I looked through the vendor ads and found all sorts of cool pen blanks, but nothing really in round bottle stopper blanks. I found some on BTW, but most of those were square, and I really want round, plus I only need two, so postage is a factor in my decision. Anyone have any ideas? I don't even care all that much what it's made of, could be resin or wood with resin mixed in, as long as it's mainly purple and bluish.

Put a request in the wants forum, I bet someone here will make something cool for you. If I had any 2" pvc laying around, I'd do it.

I'm confused - I thought the whole objective of turning was to make square things round.

Here is a search I did for stopper blanks at ExoticBlanks. They carry quite a few blanks large enough for stoppers.

Some people prefer to start with round things and modify the shape either to save time or wear on tools.

Nah! The purpose is to take rapidly spinning objects and poke at them with very sharp pieces of metal!

I'm not the greatest turner and so my way of turning a curtain rod finial really requires a round blank to start with, otherwise, I may end up with a disaster on my hands! Thanks for all the suggestions.

Slab, blanks and boards has some round-ish. I say Ish cause they are beveled. Great quality and colors.

I am not a partner or affiliated with them. Just a satisfied customer

I may have a couple for you - I am traveling in Alabama this week but when I get home I will check my stock!

Thanks everyone- I did get some ordered and am eyeing some of the others that people emailed me about for future purchases- I like making bottle stoppers so may have to turn some more of those!
