We all know Mac loves his Lignum Vitae, but does anyone know of sources
within the UK?

I have found a one, but they have only small pieces of branch 6 inch x 2
inch. The other option being redundant crown green bowls, but they again
are limited in size

Have you tried Yandles of Martock?

Hi Charlie

I spoke with them last week, and they actually had 2 pieces in stock.
One was 9 inches long by 7 inches diameter, with pith the other slightly
larger. The pricing was about twice that I would pay for 2 used bowling
balls, but then again its slightly bigger as a single piece
