Care to share some sources for hollow form blanks? Usually use locally sourced wood but occasionally like something different. Thanks

Hollow form blanks

Hi Ted....this came up before when I was looking.
Wood blanks sources
I understand that most prefer to find free wood, however for some, that is not an option. I'm listing the places I get my blanks from and I will try to keep this list updated as I find new good sources. Some sources sell round stock, others sell square stock. When buying square stock, make sure...
It is a nice list.
Cook Woods has green blanks over 4 inches in a nice selection of species...
I have a ton of stuff here in Columbia. Come and get some.

On Facebook, Roger’s Redwood Burl does auctions every week. Wide variety of wood types and dimensions.
Thanks all!
Listen for the sound of a chainsaw!
I do a lot of that just want something different every now and then.
I will second this suggestion.

you may have to give them a call. I didn't see anything thicker than 3" on their website.
What are you looking for? I will have a vendor booth at Turn On Chicago in August. I have up to 8x8" blanks that are a minimum of 12 years air dried. Some are kiln dried. Mostly high figured maple.
More along the line of exotics. Koa, Cocobolo, etc
Big Monk Lumber is another supplier:
