Can anyone help with advice or contacts for sourcing / buying seasoned bowl blanks? I live in Central Victoria (Castlemaine). I don't have no access to free / found wood and having limited available space, I can't store much green wood for drying.
I am looking for accessible supply of bowl blanks. The only one I could find is Pop's Shed which is a long way down the highway.

Cheers,

Fryers

Why not contact the Bendigo Woodturners Club, who meet at 104 Eaglehawk Rd Long Gully Bendigo. Their website address is http://bendigowoodturners.com.au and I am sure they would be able to point you in the right direction. And it
is most definitely worth joining such a club - you will learn heaps and meet new friends.

Cheers,
Gary

I agree with Gary then you've got access to a supply of timber, your supporting your local club and you might pick up a few hints and tips along the way.

I can help you out with blackwood, redgum, claret ash, and a few other bits and pieces, if you feel like a drive to Horsham.
