When I first started turning I found wood dowels in the trash, broom sticks and wood railings, tried to keep it cheap while I learned. One day a friend of mine intruduced me to a guy that owned a mill. $20 bucks = 100+ 10" blanks of pine. Some knots, just cut around them. Pine is easy to turn, sand and doesn't beat up the bowl gouges.
Google "wood mills"
I found more than one in my area.
Blond Terror gave me two blanks of AYC and I haven't used the yet. Can't make up my mind what to turn....
Hope this helps....
