I will be traveling from Dallas TX to Myrtle Beach SC during the first week of April. I am looking to see if anyone knows of any good pen making or exotic/local wood supplies along the I-20 corridor that I could stop by along my way to or from. I am looking for shops specifically tailored to woodworking or turning, similar to Rockler of Woodcraft, but prefer locally owned businesses. I an not opposed to a small detour, if it is worth the trip, but would prefer shops within a half hour of I-20. If you know of any good places (other than local general hardware stores) that would be worth the stop, please let me know. I appreciate any suggestions y'all may have!
 
I suggest that you search for wood supplies in each individual state you will be passing through. Try this for starters: bowl blanks south carolina.
 
About 10 years ago I did exactly what you are doing, but from Tampa back to Ohio. I found several random woodturning blank suppliers along the way (Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia) and got some of the nicest materials at very reasonable costs. All small local mom/pop type lumber processors/arborists. Well worth the effort to research what is available. MAKE sure they are still in business and open when you may pass by (DAMHIK).
