I hope this doesn't sound too much like an ad, but i found this place on Ebay
and they've been very good..

Just getting dragged kicking and screaming into turning pens, I went on Ebay to
see what was up there for pens..
I found a pretty good deal on some red heart blanks and bought them.. the seller
was very fast and very helpful.. also sent a "gift" with the blanks, 2 zebrawood
blanks..

I then checked out the Poc web site and they became my pen turning supply place!
http://www.pocwoodworking.com/
I've ordered from them 3 times in the last 30 days and their/her customer
service is incredible.. also, her prices beat anyone else that I can find...

The reason I HAD to post this is a recent mistake on my order:
Part of my order was 3 purple heart bottle stopper blanks for $195 each... when
I got the shipment, I found 3 purple stabilized blanks instead, which were $4.99
each..
I email Sheila there and told her about it, she asked me to send the blanks back
and she's send my the ones that I ordered..
I found out that it was going to cost me/her $500 o send them back, sort of
killing the $6 she had lost by sending the wrong blanks.. she told me to just
keep the blanks, which was probably common sense...
Today, I got an email from her saying that she had sent me the 3 original blanks
that I'd ordered, at no cost...

As much as I bitch about other vendors, I had to post this positive one...

I would definitely recommend giving them a try, I'm very happy...
