Greetings!

I am looking for reasonably priced exotic wood bowl blanks (preferrably in
the detroit area). But, I would be interested in finding them on the web.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Just blow through the door marked "Employees Only" (it's just a suggestion)
to get to the back, then up the stairs to the SE corner of the loft. They
toss offcuts there, with ridiculous prices on them. I often have to bring a
truck, and always regret the stuff I have to leave behind. Give yourself an
hour or so just to look around in the back, they have some amazing wood
there, some of it they've forgotten they have. Enjoy...

If you happen to be in southern Arizona take a look at this URL.

http://www.mesquitedesign.com/
Most of their page concerns the furniture they build BUT they have a large
lumberyard full oif mesquite- which make beutiful turnings.

Take your tape measure and wander through their selections.
Their showroom contains some pieces for sale but they do a lot of custom
work.
While we were there a fellow had just purchased a 10 foot long bench , he
was going to haul to Boise, Idaho. Not cheap but a beautiful visual piece
of art.

WARNING mesquite is real hardwood, no turning it with dull tools.

My brother who is a budding turner just visited there yesterday and picked
out some pieces to turn into bolws.

It is located just south of Tubac, Arizona .

No connection, just an interested buyer

==========================
The density is about twice that of oak, plus it has a high silica content,
so it dulls tools quickly.

Try www.penblanks.ca and click on "blocks and burls" on the left hand
side of the home page. You can see exactly the piece you will be buying.

Try :
www.choice-woods.com
