Hey Ross,
It comes in 3/4 x 6 inch blocks. I was able to get four out of a stick and I got half a dozen different sticks because I didn't know how they would look when I turned them.
Only one stick turned out to be too garish for me so I used it for tests.
I'd like to find bigger ones to be able to make them with flanges like witch hats.
They buff up real nice with rubbing compound.

| SInce the diameter is just about right, do you need a lathe, or could you round them off in a drill press? Or are the sticks square? |

| I'd definitely want to use a lathe. They have to be drilled and counter sunk for the hex nut for the pot shaft. Turning the dowl out of the square stick and parting the knobs off would also be hard on a drill press. |
