Who sales big tru-stone blanks? Something big enough to make a shaving brush, A little longer than the 1.75" that everyone carries.

I don't know where to find larger blocks of TruStone, but I've made several brushes with the small blocks that come from R and B Crafts. Glue a waste wood block on the tail stock end, turn and polish the handle about 95% before you turn off the waste wood entirely. I've been able to end up with handles that are within a micro fraction of the full 1 3/4 inches.

I have done custom cuts for some folks for a 1.5" x 3" block to make brushes with. They run about $25 each, so if you can make the bottle stopper sizes work, it's a lot cheaper. Also have a special going in the classified section on stoppers if interested. I'm also stocking the 1.5" x 3" in M3 on my site.
