This is a medium flat rate box of thin scraps that should be good for jewelry, inlay, or small project work. They are mostly .25 to .5" with a few that are 1". Some imperfections (the snakewood in particular has hairline cracks), some block trims where there is a chainsaw cut on the back side, but generally decent material. Woods include some ebonies, gidgee, desert ironwood burl, kingwood, tulipwood, snakewood, chittum, bocote, a few stabilized pieces, etc.

Pic 1 is best side, pic 2 worst side. Then tried to show a few representative details.

Make me an offer!

If you want to trade dollars - I'm likely in. I don't got anything I could get to that you don't have for a trade.

Your scraps are better than many people's Grade A.

And I understand if you prefer your bog oak to have 4 digits in its age bracket.
 
I know you tend to do the exotic, or unusual. My lilac is depleted and my shrub stock is currently aging. A bit of honeysuckle bush, a couple rose of sharon stumps, a couple burning bush stumps, and an attempt at spalting a burning bush stump.
Rhododendron is still just out of reach.

I have tried to spalt euonymous also ‐ I got some very nice thin line black spalt around the outer edge, but didn't penetrate far enough to make for good material.

Closing this one out due to lack of interest.

They just took down a 30" DBH Japanese tree lilac from Saint Josephs' college in Philly. First State wood Turners club got the tree. Anything under 6" went by way of chipper. That there is what I call a wood crime.
