Beggars choice when you are buying the more you stipulate the more you will pay has been my experience. I avoid like the plague any blanks under 20 mm and 150 long invariably sight unseen there are problems in most blanks that are from unknown sources gives you room to cut around for two piece or one piece pens. Since this is a phantom posting from Neil apparently this is my answer as to what I seek.


One inch square blanks leave a lot of excess on the floor IMHO. If you cut your own then you will cut to suit your own preferences. In chasing grain in say Olive there is considerable waste from time to time.:thumbs:
