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.

Have not tried "public lumber", will have to give them a shot.
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...

Try

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.

========================== The density is about twice that of oak, plus it has a high silica content, so it dulls tools quickly. Ken Moon ==========================
I was up to Rocklers (Woodward nr 14 mi rd) Wednesday and they had some nice osage orange and a dozen others that I've never even heard of before. It all depends on what the OP meant by 'reasonable'. Cheap they weren't, but the blocks were beautiful.
