I've had these turning stock blanks in my garage for years. Back when I was making reel seat inserts I collected these. I hate to slice them up for box sides or anything since they're already cut for turning stock. So I'm offering them for sale (preferably all at once just to fill a box and save on trips to the PO).
Left to right in all the photos:
Mogno rosado - this came to me many years ago when I was still working. I made a trip to Brazil and mentioned to one of the guys I was into wood. He set me up with a handful of boards that fit into my suitcase. This seems very similar to mahogany but with very very fine grain. 2 15/16" x 2 5/8" x 10 7/8"
Unknown wood from Belize - my brother lived there for a few years and sent me a few pieces of wood but no name; this blank is rough cut on the outside but is square dimensionally; it seems pretty hard (based on the end grain and being unable to score it with my fingernail), it's two tone; 2" x 1 15/16" x 9 3/8"
Olive (these next two came from someone here on WB years ago). (1) 2" x 2 1/4" x 9"
(2) 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" x 8 3/4"
(3) This last one was given to me by a guy who wanted a reel seat but then never followed through with what he wanted. It was bought from Wood crafters, is completely waxed all sides, and has one corner chipped off (would probably turn off). 1.5" 1.5" x 6 7/8"
Asking $50 plus shipping for all 5 blanks.
