I get them from Woodturningz its one of their own lines , I have far too many sierrias on display hehe,these are a bit longer ,but not much, and the thickness and extra length make some suspect materials a bit easier to deal with as they are not getting to extreme thinness.

Nice looking pens John and lovely timber. Tibouchina, is that the tree also called the Marriage Tree with the blue flowers?

Yep My car, a station wagon, is always half full of timber scraps/pen blanks/bowl blanks/tree branches and small logs

Good deal, I thought I was the only one who did that…I have two or three cardboard boxes in the trunk (boot) of my car full of “finds”…

The Tibouchina grow profusely up in the Northern Rivers NSW although we had a tree in Sydney but knew it as the Lazyandra.
