Colin,
I do not think that the Harrington/Harnell blanks are made any longer. Plus the last ones that I saw were not as good a blanks as the ones made a number of years ago. Most of the major blank manufacturers make glass blanks that are in my judgement better than the recent Harringtons were. I recently looked at some glass blanks made by both Rainshadow and Lamiglas that I thought were much better blanks than the Harringtons. If you are not convinced you might try Mariner's Supply on Swan island in Portland Or. I know that a few years ago they had a very large supply because they were the distributor for them in the Northwest and they may still have some left.
If you need their telephone number send me an e-mail and I will look it up for you.
