Hey All,
It seems since I took a small hiatus form turning last year, there has become somewhat of a shortage for Finial material, mainly American Holly. My usual source has dried up and others don't seem to carry anything but pen blanks and 4/4 lumber. I always used to be able to find 6/4 or 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" sticks from 12" to 24", but have not been able to find any for some HF's I am wanting to finish with finials. Has anyone a good source for Holly? It seems any I have found has a cost similar to Blackwood or black Ebony.
