I'll be headed to Asheville later this week for a meeting and will be looking to pick up some turning blanks, burls, etc. We don't have any local suppliers in my area that I know of (Southern Indiana). I've ordered blanks from various suppliers that have been mentioned on the Creek in the past, but it's nice to lay eyes on the pieces first, when possible. I purchased from Cormark near Asheville in the past and intend to pay them another visit. Does anybody have any other suggestions for turning blank suppliers in the Asheville area? I know Cormark sells some burls by weight. Any suggestions on purchasing that way? It's hard to know if it's a good deal or not.
