Seriously, am I stuck buying (other than a handful of crap) 150-400 dollar 1 1/2″ plugs. No one I’ve seen apparently makes just ‘regular’ organics. Sometimes all I want is a damn piece of tree that’s round in my ear. A little help here? (Or am I going to have to buy a lathe and start chopping?)

Here’s the first thing you want to do…take a deep breath. Put down the lathe and step away from the stretched lobes.

Secondly…you have to accept the fact that big plugs tend to cost more. Unless you are willing to make them yourself, you’re going to have to pay for someone else’s investment in large, more-expensive stock and the extra labor that (presumably) goes into making larger plugs.

Thirdly…you could try something as close and easy as BMESHOP. In less than 2 minutes I found these:

At $42 for a pair, they are much less than the figures you were throwing around.

Or how about these

$38 pair.

I know those aren’t wood, but they do fall into the organic/natural materials.

You may also want to check out Omerica Organic or Esoteric Body

Both of those companies do large-gauge wood work in a wide range of styles, materials and prices.

And I’m sure other people will be along in no time to suggest their favorite companies.
