looking to move up from pens and 2" bowl blanks.

Where do you get your thicker/bigger blanks. The big blanks at woodcraft are soooooo spendy!

Thanks in advance, ad

Look up tree cutting service in your phone book and give them a call. Tell them you are a wood turner and ask if you can have access to the area where they dump their logs. Take something you turned as a gift. You will have a friend for life and they may even deliver.

"Free-wood" is the best...and it's everywhere!

I don't know if I will get booted for this, but I sell blanks...
What do you need - sizes, thickness/diameter, and what kinds of wood are you looking for?
email or PM me, if interested:)
