Bocote Bowl Blanks.

[gragian]

Does anyone know where I could get some bocote bowl blanks? It seems like, given the size of the tree, any bowl blanks thicker than 2 inches or so really go up in price, at least where I've seen it. I'm hoping to find good prices on 6x3 or 8x3 blanks. Any help is much appreciated!

Try Gary at NCWood on ebay. This is just the first Bocote blank I saw in his store. He usually can get me whatever I want. Contact him and he'll hook you up.

I also get some things from West Penn Hardwoods. They have a lot of exotics.
