♫ εηdεd ♫ Testing the waters ..... possible trade anyone ?

[Jerry B]

looking to see if there's an interest in a little trading .......
wanting wood, willing to trade for some segmented pen blanks
blanks will fit Jr Gent II, Jr Majestic, Jr Imperial, Jr George, Jr Aaron, Jr Antony, Jr Jon .......
(basically any Jr gent II style 2 tube pen kit, made to fit what ever you need)

Looking for any of the following:
DIW, Russian Olive Burl, Cherry Burl, Chamise Burl, Mesquite & Mesquite Burl, Mallee Burls, Eucalyptus Burls, African Sumac Burls, Cocobolo, basically any nicely figured Burls & grains.
Wood blanks need to be a minimum 13/16" square x 4-5" long ..... larger is fine, I can resaw into sizes needed, MC% doesn't matter

These Segmented blanks sell for $50 each, orders of 3 or more and they're $40 each ......
have plenty prepped ready to cut to sizes needed, depending on how much wood you'd like to trade for

For newer members not familiar with me and my blanks, there are plenty in the pen forum, or if you don't want to go hunting, post here and I'll post some finished samples.
Finished pens with these blanks have been retailing for $250 - $350 , and some Rollerball/Fountain combos have went as high as $500 ...... so a worthwhile investment/trade

How about it fellas, whatcha got

here are a few samples of finished turned pens with my blanks

i can help you with your desire to have some chamise burl. since you are in my local area, if you pm me, we can set up a get together so we can do some trading. i'm not a wood turner yet, so though your pens are awesome, i don't have a way to process pen blanks. i'm sure we can work something out though. the work in those pens is truly incredible.

Jerry definitely Makes the best segmented pens I've seen. I'll be getting around to cutting up some ROB pen blanks this week, I think. I'll get some posted by next week and get you tagged.
