Where can I get...

I need butt sections from blanks that are between 2' and 3' in length and 3/4" - 1" in dia. I am going to use these to build special devices that will be used by Martial Arts students. If anyone has some or knows where I could get short pieces without having to buy and chop an entire blank please let me know. Color doesn't matter. I'll pay for the pieces and shipping ofcourse. Please email me if you can help. Thanks!

Rather than spending money on Rod blanks. Take a look at the fiberglass extension handles sold by
Home Depot or Lowe's. You shoulbe able to get several out of one handle, about $10.00 for about a ten footer.

Martin,
Try contacting any of the rod blank manufacturers on this board & ask them for any suitably dimensioned (per your requirements) reject blank sections they might have. You might find what you need that way. doesn't hurt to ask.
Good Luck.

We at Neal's Fishing Products have a lot of short blank sections for sale and unheard of pricing. Just email me the diameter you are looking for and on Monday when I get in the shop I will let you know what we have here.
