To get reed rush at a much lower price than Leblanc charges, go to any high-class florist and ask them for "horsetail rush" which is the same thing. They may well give you a stalk or two.
Rush grows in sandy soil and takes up sand into the stem, which is why it's abrasive. Keith Stein recommends it in his book, partly, I think, because he taught for years at Interlochen, where it grows wild along the lakeshore.
I don't much like rush. I get better precision with a knife and a smoother finish with 600 grit sandpaper.
Best regards.
