Putting out feelers

[Hippie3180]

Will be visiting the Texas Hill Country(San Antonio area) soon, looking for a place to pick up some nice wood blanks. We don't have much variety here, walnut, Peruvian walnut, blood wood etc. There are no exotics or burls available. Wondering if anyone knows of a place to check out some wood possibilities while we are that way?

I would suggest contacting the Alamo Penturners or the Alamo Woodturning clubs and get your answer. The Alamo Penturners are an IAP club if I recall and have a Facebook presence: https://www.facebook.com/groups/179853392037733/

Thank you, and great idea!

I'm also open to wood shops to buy wood by the board foot, if anyone in this area knows of any of these type places.

Floresville is close to SA. There's a small lumber yard that has a lot of Mesquite and other woods. Faifer and Company is the name.
