Hi folks,

I have for sale 4 sets of 3 each DIW bottle stopper blanks, all blanks are 2"x2"x2 1/2" and each set is $24 plus shipping of $6.10 for the SFRB.

PLEASE keep in mind that this is Desert Ironwood and it can have hairline cracks, I have tried to cut all the cracks out of them but I can't get them all, keep your CA handy and SHARP tools and remember that HEAT IS THE ENEMY OF IRONWOOD, a little TLC and working slow will give you some of the most beautiful stoppers you have ever made!

Thanks

Joe and Linda

I'm going to change this post a little, I realize that this Ironwood is not cheap folks and most people have not worked with it and hesitate to spend this much on stoppers, so lets do this, I am going to make sets 1 and 2 a set of 6 for $24 and sets 3 and 4 a set of 6 for $24, I think I can still get 6 in a SFRB and postage will remain at $6.10, this will be 1/2 price and make it more affordable for you and believe me folks, you really have to have a taste of this Ironwood, it's a pain to work with unless you have very sharp tools but in the end it is well worth it!!

I want to get this wood in the hands of as many folks as I can so it can be appreciated and I'm sure you will come to love it as I and many others do!!!

Thanks

Joe

The last set of 6 bottle stopper blanks are going to visit KOWEA to slack his thirst for DIW folks, I'll try to make more sometime this week.

Thanks

Sorry to dig up an old one, but I'm looking for some ironwood blanks, Joe.

Would you happen to have anything in the 1.75 to 2" sq by 4 to 5 inch long range? Even the dark stuff you had mentioned in other posts would be OK. I'm interested in four or five pieces in that size. I'll send a PM with some specifics.

Thanks
