Buckeye Burl for Realistic Cigar?

[kevrob]

This may sound like a silly question, but for those of you who have made the realistic cigars, where do you get your non stabilized buckeye burl? It seems I had seen it quite a bit when I started turning, but can't seem to find it now. I've done some searches in the forums, but have been coming up empty and can't seem to find it through my usual online suppliers.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

I've never done the cigar ash, but I've gotten unstabilized buckeye burl pen blanks on ebay.

Why don't you try to talk to Martin Obsorn from Martin Pens.

He made them out of a number of woods...
Good luck in your search. I would start with Martin. He
is on the forum.

Are you referring to the wood used to make the ash portion? I use gray dyed spectra ply. I get a block at my local woodcraft. I glue it to where the lines make it look like rings on the ash.

I get mine from WoodTurningz just around the corner from me.....at least they are close for now.
