Snake wood, anybody ?

[Frank S]

My grandchildren have asked me to make two pens for their parents as Christmas gifts.My son and daughter in law keep reptiles as a hobby,so I am thinking of some snake wood.Have tried every supplier I can think of, and so far , no luck. So the question is, can anybody please help ? Beer tokens available.

I've got some, I can dig them out and take some pics and measurements if you like?

Yandles had some last time i went. a few decent chunks of it though, at about £400 iirc! Tucked away in the corner.

Robin mentioned he might be taking some to the Harrogate show. I'm told it cracks readily and is expensive, so I might pass on it.
