were does all that ash come from? the hardware store, not sure if it is at every harware store. they are baseball bat blanks, they have them in other woods to, but they aren't all round like the ash. i can only find them at a specailty hardware store that sell exotic woods and moldings, it is called Higgins. they sell teak, mahagony, ebony and every other exotic wood you can think of. they are cheap like 20 dollars or less and about 3 1/2 feet long by 3inches in diameter. they are perfectly round, and are sealed on both ends, and never have cracks. i ussaully get about three tikis out of each bat, depending on if the tiki has a body, ect,ect...
they are good for times when i'm can't get any good size wood.
