Looking for Olive Wood Blank for Goblet

[Jeff Paxton]

I am looking for a olive wood blank approximently 3 x 3 x 8 to make a goblet for my son and his "wife to be" for their wedding. I plan to make it with two captive rings. I want a blank that has the dark lines running through the middle of the blank so it will have some nice figure and character. Most olive wood I have found is in the pen blank size or shallow bowls. Does anyone know of a good source for what I am looking for?

Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff,

I checked all my normal suppliers without any luck.

Then I went to this site, typed in olive wood and performed a search and came up with several sites you might want to check. http://www.woodfinder.com/
