I am not sure yet. I'll probably send a blank along with what ever we comes up with for a trade.

Can't sleep, so here's what I have. All pieces meet your size requirements(some have inclusions that will either turn out or can be excluded from razor handle altogether and still have enough length). Just tossing in the spalted apple for the heck of it. Should be able to get two out of that one. The last blanks are the ones I'd like as razors. They are labeled as such, so they don't get lost in the shuffle. Lol! Let me know if this trade works for you. I can always grab some more sticks!
Here is my offering for a safety razor trade. Left to right they are
2 pieces of green gold (mud cured osage). The one has a crack in it but I think most of it will turn out. 4" long.
2 pieces of oak burl. One is kind of so so but the other has some pretty crazy figure in it. The longer one has an inclusion towards one end but you will be able to get a 3 blank out of it.
1 spalted walnut
1 black palm.
All are stabilized accept the osage.
I will send along a red casted walnut burl blank for my razor. Let me know what you think.

Kelvin, here is some Mesquite for your consideration. I realize my Mesquite doesn't measure up to what some of these guys have so I will pack a SFLB full of them. The top two pieces are Live Oak. I would like two razors if possible. Will that work for you? Tony
Kelvin, I knew the cocobolo would look better in person, but I didn't know it would look THAT much better! The razor looks awesome... great job on the beading and curves. It feels great in hand, it looks beautiful, and I can't believe that you sent a stand too... that's awesome! I'm going to have to send you some more stuff to make this a fair trade.

Norm I got the blanks today.
So I got right to work.
Let me know what you think?
I can make another shorter version of her razor if you prefer.
Those look perfect! Thanks!
Haha. Mine is the stabilized Russian olive. The red one is rengas.
Are you using a burl lamp for your backdrop? I like it! The very same you bought for what I assumed was to cut up?
Kelvin, got your blanks mailed today, let me know what you think. Tony
