Tiger Eye blank scraps

Does anyone know where I can purchase some Tiger Eye blank scraps?

I'd like to try some trial wraps, with different thread colors, before wrapping the blank I have.

Thanks for the suggestions. However I'd like to use a section of scrap, to display different color combos choices, for anyone interested in have a rod built from this blank.

Really Sam,
Those blanks are fairly inexspensive. Just by one and use part for your display and the other part could be used for a reamer!
No fuss no muss and not much invested! However, if you are set at saving the most $. There are a couple of guys listing the
blanks on a couple of the @#$%& sites and you might be able to get some pieces that may have been returned as damaged
durring shipping. Just a thought,
