Hi, Guys,

Can anyone point me in the right direction to buy a couple of 20mm black acrylic pen blanks? Merv Cadman is hibernating through the winter, and I can't find any listed in other UK suppliers. Timberbits would have been the choice if I had a bigger order and more time, so that's out (and I've just noticed that they are out of stock, anyway!!!) Any ideas, guys?

Regards,
Bob.

Gps black ice or pearl. I would need to check our stock but if we don't I am sure other GPS stockists will do. I have some merv blanks but more Guinness style than plain colours.

Could make you some all black ones if required. Just made some turquoise and dark blue for someone else. Have some similar to the guiness style already made if black with white an option.

The search for a perfect black and a perfect white continues, interested in the results you acheive mate. Yesterday talking with a mate who casts and hardens the cost factors to make for yourself make it very attractive to find a great maker. I have no doubt George is a possibility as well, all class.

Greg beat me to it. I've also had both solid black and white blanks in rod form from Vince, (might still have some) though can't remember exactly what material.
He usually manages to get them sent off pretty quickly

Hello, guys, Many thanks for your responses and kind offers. Fortunately, Sawes is able to come up with a couple, which will get me out of trouble.

Bob.
