Sold - Cherry pen blanks

[ItsForrest]

These are cut from a some cherry wood planks that sat in a storage shed for over 20 years. These are off cuts from bigger blanks I cut for myself. I don't do pens so maybe there's one or two of you that would like a stock of very well aged cherry wood.

There are two batches. Each batch is 20 1x1 pieces a hair over 5" to about 5-1/2" plus a few longer bits between 6 and 9".
These will ship in a padded USPS flat rate envelope.

$24.65 per batch includes 15 for the wood and 9.65 for postage.

Here's two pictures of batch 1



Here's two shots of batch 2

shipped each batch. 15 for the wood and 9.65 for the postage.

Do you have any boards or slabs out of this cherry? I bet there would be some good interest in that!

No hurry, These have been sitting in a box for a while and I thought I'd put them up here. For right now the pen blanks are the only stuff I know I won't use. When it warms up and the garage is more comfortable to work in, I will have more stuff to share.

I know you don't turn pens, so pardon my intrusion but these blanks need pictures of the other sides and each end so a pen turner can determine if they are stable enough to use
Any cracks or checks can blow apart for a pen turner due to the small amount of material covering the tube. The turner needs to see if there is enough stable wood.

Ok, I've taken more pictures and from more angles. I've tossed a few of the pieces you marked as they had imperfections I didn't catch when I cut them. I also assumed that a bit of CA glue would take care of the odd hairline crack as it often does when I come across them when working on stuff. Some of the marks in the wood are lines in the grain, not cracks. My original thought on this deal was 20 pcs plus a few extras in case there were bad ones I missed. So, Here's new pictures of the new batch 1. One of the long pieces is sugar maple.

Here are pictures of the new batch 2. One of the long pieces is a more recent piece of cherry from another source.

Excellent pictures! The grain patterns are what make the blanks neat. I wasn't picking the blanks apart. Just pointing out which blanks needed pictures to verify the quality or grain pattern. These pictures ought to help the sale a bit.

It's all good. You did make me look closer and see a couple pieces I didn't want to pass along.

It looks like both these boxes are still available. Would you take $40 for both shipped?

Yeah, I'll do that. Both batches should fit in a medium box. We can move the conversation to PM for details.
