wood for plugs
 
Where do you guys get the wood for making plugs?

I think I am going to invest in a lathe and play around with some stuff..

Dude, your life will never again be normal.....

I am lucky to be able to get scraps from a cabinet shop. Great source if you can find one. Best plugs I ever made came from black birch firewood that I split in quarters, let dry for three weeks about 2 feet from my wood stove. I cut the checked ends off and turned up some nice plugs. They ain't purty, but they work...
