I am finally able to get back to creating again. Currently I am looking for live edge Box Elder that I can cut into squares: Height 1.5" x Width 1.5" x Depth 0.75" (3.81cm x 3.81cm x 1.9cm)

I am also looking for any other visually stunning wood that you might have available within that scale. I will attach a photo of some of my past pendants that I have created with resin to give you an idea of what I am hoping for. I am ok with square but would prefer live edge. Thank you.

@Mike1950 has been showing off some love edge curly koa. He may soon have scraps of that and it isn't too horrid...
If you have wood to trade in the 9 inch plus range, you may find @bhatleberg willing to clear out some live edge scraps...
@Don Ratcliff has been teasing us with what he makes from his scrap bin and @rob3232 has been known to find a unique piece every once in a while.
The rest of us are just either too busy, too lazy, or whatever, to go through the workshop, house, carport, back porch, woodshed, other woodshed, storage shed with wood in it, toolshed with wood in it, or even the little kiosk out front with wood in it and gather up a handful of scraps...
 
i have a bunch of aussie burl caps, burl ends and burl pieces i got from @Mike1950
they were not cheap but they would work great for what your doing. they however are not cut into 3/4 inch thick pieces

Thank you, I might still be able to use them for earrings. Can I see what you have?

I don’t have any box elder dry but I have a good bit of red mallee and brown mallee Burl cutoffs. I’ve been using these for knife handle blanks for some time. The wood is beautiful and hard. Probably about a medium or large flat rate box worth.
