curly maple source

[ricklandes]

I did a couple of searches here and could not find my answer so here goes...
I am wanting about a 3x3x6 block of fancy curly maple to turn into a horn plug (I want to turn it down to size and then carve in some leaves and the like to match a rifle I have).
Any sources? All I have called have at best 12/4 rough and most have none...

Have you tried any of the companies that sell stock blanks? Maybe they have some end cuts they'll send your way.

If you could use 2 3/4" Fred Miller, Dave Keck, Wayne Dunlop, Bob Lepley, Michael Barton. They would all have that in their scrap bin. Probably use it for firewood.

Hi, Rick,
Try woodworkersource and woodcraftsupply.

Firewood pile might be the best place to look for that size.

-----the nicest horn plug I ever made was DOGWOOD-----end grain showing-----

eBay has some that look really nice.
