I have to confess that I am here under somewhat false pretenses. Years ago, I turned a bunch of pens, but these days I am mostly into segmented turning. I would like to incorporate acrylics into some of my pieces, like this bubinga-bloodwood-acrylic bowl.
I am looking for a source for long acrylic pen blanks - cutting segments from typical 6" blanks leaves a lot of waste. One possibility is beartoothwoods.com - a fellow segmenter says they sell blanks up to 1 meter long by special order. Are there other sources that you know of?
Of course, I am also interested in learning about tips, tricks and tools that I can apply to my craft - no shortage of those here!
