Where is a good place to buy Snake skin Pen Blanks?

thanks

CSUSA (http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/) has them. I'm not sure if they are good ones because I have not made any.

CSUSA? I don't think they sell them. AZ Silhouette sells them and sometimes Glimmerz 'n More has them. PSI also sells them, but they are pretty pricey and you have to cut them to length.

Don Ward (It's Virgil) makes great snakeskin blanks, I would contact him! Joe S.

Arizona Sil. has them too, a little pricey but perfect condition. Sometimes ebay has them but you never know what your getting. Maybe someone here has them too, put an ad in the individual class. here on this site.

Boy you guys are fast! By the time I got my answer typed and submitted there were 3 other suggestions[:0]

Not just great, but the finest period. Don is too <s>shy </s> humble to admit it[:I]

I don’t know if Don sells them or not. If he does, I literally would not go any other place to buy them.

Ive been getting mine from A.S., I havent had any trouble with them.

I guess its time for Don to chime in. Thanks for the compliments from those who have turned snake skin blanks I've made. I don't actively sell them. I wish I could develop a way to make them in volume and keep them the quality that I think I've achieved. Some of you have turned them because you won them in the recent raffle I had. Some of you I've done some trading with and used the snake blanks as leverage, err, as trading fodder. I have sold a few via private contacts. Some of you have a pen I made from my blanks because of trading. Maybe I'll work on developing a way of making them in large enough quantities to offer some. But for now, I make them for me and limited number for sell.
Do a good turn daily!
Don
