hello i nead help finding sites for turning wood my computer crashed I lost every thing.i need green wood for a insert on a fly rod im building for a Doctor.i had a site that had it now i don't thanks regards John Bratton

by green do you mean the color is green, or the wood is green i.e. not dried yet?

Some sources for exotic turning woods would include Woodcraft Supply; Craft Supplies in Provo UT; Venneri sells wood blanks.

hello Rick the color is green with black fleck in it comes from south america looks like emerald stone when finished.real nice regards John Bratton

By all means try www.eisenbran.com for all your wood needs. Tell Clay what you need and he will have it and hand select for color and figure.

clemmens has an insert they call angler's green, pretty sharp, I don't know if they have that particular color available in a turning stock form, you will have to check with dick french.

Your description of the color sounds just like lignum vitae; South/Central Americas, a contender for the hardest wood known. The logs don't float in the river, making it hard to harvest. Used for mallets; fittings and bearing blocks in wooden ships; handplane soles. Hibdon carries it but won't sell small quantities; I agree Eisenbrant is my next choice.

thanks guys my fun thing to do is turn rare wood ito reel seat inserts.they bring a good price also.one wood i have used with no luck is Iron wood keeps splitting on me.oh well talk to you later regards John bratton

i bought a lot of great wood real cheap on @#$%&. it,s under pen blanks.
