Found a nice piece of ant-wood that I was able to cut a couple blanks from.

6 pot calls. 4" square by 1" thick.

4 duck call blanks. 1.5" square by 5". They have a little off some of the ends. With one being kinda round.

5 pen blanks. 1" square by 5-6" long. And one half blank that is cross cut.

I believe these are from a white ash tree. Stabilizing necessary as a couple blanks are a bit on the soft side. The sizes are approximate. If more precise measurements or close-up photos are wanted let me know.

For trade, I am just looking for some figured or exotic wood about knife block sizes. Or one cast blank in return, duck call size. The entire set will fit in a MFRB. Open to all sorts of trade potentials. Just ask. Thanks for looking. My first for-trade post. Hopefully I got it all right.

Casters dream. Can't wait to see them cast and then turned.
 
WOW I cant believe someone hasn't jumped on these yet. I have a few casting projects going right now so if you aren't in a big hurry to get your blank back I would do a cast blank in trade for the lot. If you would rather not wait let me see what I can come up with for a trade..
 
Yeah, those are going to be super sweet once cast...

Got my blank from Scott. :yipee: I gotta say wow! :thanx2: I can't wait to cut this into knife scales! Thanks for the surprise, pretty much made my day!

How did the others turn out? Just curious :nodice:
 
Other than yours I've only had a chance to cast the one blank for Zuma's pen and one failed pen blank. I am hoping ton do more soon though. It's going to be tough to part with any of them.

That pen is amazing. That blank is awesome and the hardware matches it perfectly. My wife actually claimed it it's so nice! I'll be looking forward to seeing your other cast blanks you make from that wood!
