Hey guys,
I'd like to get some boxwood for bands and shank extensions.
Does anyone on the board have some that they might resell?
If not, do you know any sources for this wood? I've found some old topics on this on the board, but they're all quite out of date..
Thanks!

Ebay is a great source for all kinds of woods. I betcha if you search for boxwood, you'll find some.

Didn't find any boxwood on e-bay, strangely, but a quick Google search turned up this website: http://www.exoticwood.biz/pen-blanks.htm

I recently purchased some boxwood, among other things, from Griffin and everything I got looks good and shipped pretty quickly. I would buy from them again.

Thanks for the info.
Boxwood is much harder to get than I thought before I started looking...
Sadly, Ebay is useless in this case, I emailed Griffin and I'm waiting to see what kind of order I could place to make it worth the shipping fees.

I've used Griffin also with success. Got some really nice stabilized buckeye from them as well as some boxwood.

I actually managed to find a luthier who has a nice half log for sale here in Poland. The price isn't bad, so I'll probably go for it.
I'll try to post some pics when I get it.
