OK do you guys buy lumps of nice burrs and cut them up for blanks or buy them already cut. Any that I have mainly come from local wood that I have got and cut up and the odd piece of foreign stuff I have cut off the side of square blanks keeping the bulk of it for other turned items.
If you buy them where is the best place for some nice burr material already cut

Just another vote for Lignaterrae here - fantastic service and some lovely wood!

I just need to accept that it doesn't all have to go on 'special' pens - any pen it goes on will be special!
