Topic tags/keywords: question lathe turning

Having no luck in finding suppliers for Acrylic turning rods. I can find lots of vendors that sell pen blank size blanks but no vendors selling longer blanks. I believe that I want “cast” acrylic for lathe turning. I want the multi-colored rods with swirled colors like the pen blanks. I need them to be 8 or so inches long, and not too costly. The thickness can be 3/4 or better at 1 inch. Anyone out there be able to share a vendor with me? Thanks for your help. Want to make some hairsticks our of this stuff. Any help appreciated.

Mike

If you’re geographically isolated, you may have to mail-order, but believe me, this stuff is not hard to get in a lot of places.
