Obtaining Monterey Cypress?

[BHuij]

I'd like to make a gift pen for my sister who is moving away from the Bay Area, but really loved living there. The pen is conceptualized and designed, but I need to source some Monterey Cypress (at least one pen blank worth). I can find plenty of Cypress pen blanks, but they're usually the more common swamp type found in the south. Can't seem to find any blanks made from actual Monterey Cypress.

Anyone have any leads on where I might find some? If you live in or around the Bay Area, I'd pay for a halfway decent stick you find on the ground at this point

I found this on Etsy, looks big enough for several blanks. The etching can just be sanded off, if it's thick enough.

Monterey Cypress Turning Square

This Monterey Cypress log was seasoned for several years before being milled into woodturning blanks. As a result, the wood has lost roughly half of its original moisture and is considered partially air dried. There are areas of nice fiddleback in some blanks. An occasional end or surface check...

NB: keep in mind, there's no way to know if the monterey cypress is from the bay area or other places, such as Hawaii.
