If anyone is interested, while I was at Turners Retreat today I saw they have crates and crates of Indian Rosewood pen blanks. Unusual size at 18in long x 17mm square. They say you can get 3 pens from it but the piece I bought I can get 4 streamlines from it. £1.95 each is a steal but they also are selling it by the crate. I can't remember exactly the numbers but it was definitely £195 for I think 320 blanks, all 18in long. They've got stack of it too. Just thought I'd mention.
