Small amount of wild service

[velar]

Greetings all. Does anybody know where I can buy a small amount of wild service timber to try on a small project? I've searched the usual places and a few unusual ones and a 2.6m length is fairly easy to find, but far too much for my needs. Any ideas/pointers? Thank you in advance

Try looking under the title "Swiss Pear". There are a few bits on Ebay.

Edit. How small are you looking for? Timberline have some pen blanks and Exotic Hardwoods have some knife scales.

That's very helpful indeed, thank you! I was thinking a bit larger than that (small box) but if all else fails I might get a tiny quantity as a test piece first. We shall see!
