Hi Guys, here are a few lots of buckeye burl pen blanks for you to look over. Also, some buckeye stopper blocks with a manzanita block or two in each one to fill up a flat rate box. One of the little man. blocks has some charring......makes some really pretty contrast in the finished stopper..going from red to black. The manzanita will probably have some cracks/checks...it almost always does...so you can expect 'em. The stopper blocks are mostly "trunk" wood....not so much burl but still has the great color buckeye is so well known for. There still may be some voids, etc. but they are limited in these. They will measure 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x at least 2 1/2" long.

Stopper block lots will be $30.00 total delivered to you.
Pen blanks will measure 3/4 x 3/4 x at least 5" long. Pen blanks will be $15.00 per lot delivered to you.

I just posted "wet/misted" pics to show potential when finished. Didn't want to take up too much space on the WB site.
The first pic below is B72.....Tag/label doesn't show...gotta get on the camera man.....might have to lay him off. : )

Great looking stuff. Any chance on getting some blanks that are 4" x 4" x 4/4 thick? I am a turner, but I don't do pens :fool3: The Manzanita is Sweet stuff.

Cheers! :drinks:

Sorry, I should have specified. I was thinking of the buckeye, but I wouldn't mind having some manzanita too. I just figured the manzanita would be tough to get in that size. Those are some small shrubby plants! You can PM me specifics if you want.

Thanks!

Hi Eric, there's a PM in your box about the two man. slabs. M52 and M54
Many thanks, Rocky
 
Are the pen blank lots still available? I read through the post and didnt see where anyone claimed them but I may have missed something.

Is there a break on shipping if I take both lots?
