Florida Trip

[moke]

On Saturday, I will be traveling to the Sarasota, Bradenton area of Florida. We are going to "hang out" a few days with friends and maybe do some shopping. Are there any good woodworking/turning supply stores in the area? Actually anything you think might be of interest to me...
Thanx in advance...

there is a Woodcraft store in Clearwater about 1 hour north of Sarasota and also a little known Cocobola dealer in Pinellas Park who often has some great product that would be around 45 min N of Branden

I think Clearwater is where we fly into....Is St Pete the same airport?
Do you know the name of the Cocobolo dealer?
Thanx..

Also checkout www.woodturningblanks4u.com in Bradenton (just of I-75 right near Sarasota.

Steve runs the place out of a large shop builing next to his house so call or email to make sure he knows you are coming.

Lots of great bowl & spindle blanks in stock including rosewood, camphor, ambrosia maple, etc. I was just there last weekend and picked up about 15 nice spindes for boxes for under $100.

Patrick, That is exactly the kind of place I am looking for...
I have a day to myself and my friend has provided me with a vehicle, so I will stop!
Thanks!!
