Hi everybody.
I need burls. Maple burl, BEB, black ash burl... etc. It needs to have figure, eyes. Curoffs are welcomed , but cutoffs need to fit requirements to make pen blanks, knife blanks, cigar holder blanks etc. A lot of live edge is welcome. Bottom line, it needs to be quality burl or cutoff.
What am I offering is cigar holders and pens.
Here are some cigar holders:

I do not post pen's pictures yet as I have too many different. Have rollerballs which are in middle range value, also have high end pens like Jr Majestic, Cambridge etc. Have twist ballpoints also middle range and high end. In case someone will be interested in something particular I will post pictures.
Please let me know if anyone would be interested in trade.

@vegas urban lumber Second from top is black ash burl. I'd like to get it. Let me know what kind of pens you'd like to see(medium, high end, preferred color) and I'll post pictures so you can choose.

chemise burl is beautiful. OK... I'll just post some pictures of pens on Saturday morning as I will be working tomorrow starting 6 AM and finish very late. No chance for me to make pics before Saturday

Kevin, as I said it will be for pens(3/4). knife blanks(1.2), cigar holders(1.25). So if is a thin stock like 1/2 I cannot do much. Although if top surface is live than it is fine with me. I'll use it for casting so main thing is live edge/surface and a lot of eyes.
 
I have about 800 pounds of Cherry Burl, still at about 14% I could cut some pretty good sized blocks you could resaw....

OK, no one gave me any pen preferences for pens so I'll just post some for different taste in medium range. You can chose or at least give me a hint of what you like. First pen on first Picture goes to Dario. 20161126_124938.webp

@Schroedc Colin, I'd be interested in more like surface burl cuts with thickness up to 1-2" which has a lot of live edge rather than blocks itself. What I am trying to say, that maybe it would be better idea if you just cut cut surface of burl(which I am intersted in) and the rest you could use for clean block cuts for sale for this group. Just a thought. But I would definitely never say no to full burls.
 
i'm interested in the 2nd from the left in the first picture, far rt side on 2nd picture and 9th set rt side
let me know the value and what amount of whole burls or cutoffs or what you'd like in trade

@vegas urban lumber Trev, to stay on very low side it is around $100
First pen is gimlet burl, second is ROB, third is gimlet burl as well. Looks like you are consistent in your taste
