Bigger acrylics?

[MatthewZS]

Anyone know where to get acrylics and the like in sizes LARGER than the typical blanks we work with?

Might be an idea.

Ernie sells a "double stopper" size blank in some acrylic colors -- near bottom of this page:

I'd made note of beartoothwoods, they have some good stuff. And woodenpro covers JUST about everything else I want in acrylics so thank you for those two...... ONLY thing I'm still not seeing is stuff of sufficient size to make yoyos. so like 2x2x1 at least. Thanks for the links so far.

I could be wrong but I think the issue is that acrylics are pour on a slab and then cut into smaller blanks. Largest I've really ever seen has been about 1.5" in thickness but the width can be adjusted. Maybe glue 4 pen blanks together, or try cast resin blanks in bottlestopper molds

Try here, too.

Matthew, I can cast some blanks round with a 3" diameter and up to 3" high. If that meets your needs let me know. I'll work out a price and we can go from there. Should be able to do multiple colors like any of my blanks.

We should have several different patterns of these rods in stock. (We cut them into slices for pendants) PM Ed (ed4copies) and he can tell you more in the am.
