I was in Santa Clara last week for training and visited this place. It was like a wood turners Mecca. They also have slabs and lumber, but I've got a local place that does that too. What I don't have is three rows of shelves stuffed with exotic turning blocks! And the prices were great. Global Wood Source Exotics: Lumber & Slabs $123 Claro Guitar slabs Domestics: ($4 per lb Maple burl.) I also hit up their scrap bin and scored a 2x3x12 block of Olive and a small block of zircote for $5 each. A portion of the olive has already been turned into some bottle stoppers. A very cool shop!
