Where in Ore/Wash?

Makes some difference

Portland area: Gilmer Wood Company, North Woods Figured Wood

Southern Ore: Cook Woods

Seattle area: Board Horder, Edensaw Wood

Ore coast.... can't remember the name but they have a sign up in the Gold Beach area and have (had?) BF Burl, they are on a side road just inland.

Of course in that area there are several sources of Myrtle also

You might check Oregon Burls in Grants Pass, OR. Greg is fellow club member here at SOW. I almost never buy burl, so cannot comment on his prices.

Are you traveling up 101 thought Northern California? If so, you might try Almquist Lumber in Arcata. Eric doesn't carry BL Maple blanks per say, but he does have some wonderful 8/4 curly/figured wide boards if you can use them. They are harvested locally and quite dry. Pricey, I think about $10.00/bf, but really nice stuff. He also has 4/4 stock if you do segmented turning. They do have Claro Walnut turning blanks as well.

Rum

I think there's another one around there as well, but the one I know of is my Cousins Irwins place at

http://www.highwestwood.com/

His picture gallery is a bit out of date but when I was down there last year he had a wall of 4'x4'x2' bins of BLM blanks in two stacks about 20' high.

He also tends to have a lot of myrtle and a few other things floating around.
