I don't know of any in the area.
On my way to MARC, I am going to be checking some stores, in the larger population centres.
Lapidary, is a jewellery thing, right?

  John,

      Canton flannel buffs are available from: Woodcraft 1-800-225-1153, Tool Crib 1-800-635-5140, Rockler 1-800-279-4441, Eagle America 1-800-872-2511, The Garrett Wade Tool Co. 1-800-221-2942 and many hardware stores. Be sure not to get a sewn wheel, get a loose sewn (1 or 2 stitches) and a loose section (1 stitch at the arbor)  Spiral sewn and sisal buffs are much to aggressive for keys but good for rough cutting metals. When ordering compound, get a buffing compound not a cutting compound, and I've found that the closer the color to the object your buffing the better. If your interested in knowing, I use 1hp Baldor buffing machines @1750 rpm with 10 inch dia. wheels. Separate machines for plastic, ivory, ebony and metals. Rake your wheels occasionally to keep them clean.

    Thank you Michael.

    Where are those Canton flannel buffers available from?

     

    Lapidary supply stores carry a wide variety of "buffs," as well as compounds for plastic.
