Here is what I finally came up with.

They are, left to right 2 stabilized black palm, stabilized butternut, stabilized spalted maple, 2 Bethlehem olive wood ?? mango, cherry burl, and bubinga. The two on top are stabilized spalted tamarind and a mystery burl cast in red alumilite. A couple of them need to be trimmed to fit in the box and I may be able squeeze a couple more in yet if I rearrange thing a little.

I could get the box closed decent after I found some more stuff so I jammed the lid shut, tapped it up, and stuffed in a padded envelope. Then to top it off I forgot to grab the envelope on my way out the door this morning. I will try to get to the PO tomorrow morning.

This is a Guardian Jr. click in 24kt gold finish. The pen blank is Thailand rosewood burl cast in turquoise resin. Danny, I will be sending you a bolt action pen as you requested, however, I figured this pen might be one you would like to keep for yourself.

the remaining "Pen blanks for finished pen" trades will be posted soon. Thanks everyone that made a trade with me. I appreciate it.
 
Those are all incredible looking Jamie!!!!!! Tony
 
I think you would have had a line out the door of people wanting to trade you blanks for finisheds if they knew what kind of work you'd be sending them back! Holy smokes those are flipping cool!

Once I finish these current trades I will probably be open for a few more trades.... I still have room for wood in my pen blank bin..... Thanks. I will be working on yours and Barry's pens after church today...... then I am going to see the Blue Man Group in Orlando with the family this evening.......
 
Wow I am really digging the looks of that clicker Jamie. I can't wait to get it in my hands. Thanks for a great trade.

Ok.... I will keep this trade thread open for up to four more trades. I will continue to make custom blanks and turn finished pens for each trade. The trade is a finished pen for a sfrb of nice pen blanks. I would love some 2 tone burls if possible..... just putting it out there..... :good2:

Actually I would be in need of some ebony. I will message you tomorrow with a request for a certain size if that's ok.

Yeah that works for me. Just let me know what you need and Ill let you know if I have it or not. I really only have smaller pieces for the most part though. Mainly pen blank sizes with some pieces a little bigger.
 
Here's a picture of what I could cut up for you. I traded for these with the locals. They are clubs they were trying to carve for awards and messed up. Definitely pen blank size, you might be able to get some of the slices you need out of the club portion of one of them for the necklaces you are making. They may have a little white in places but are almost all black. they just put gold paint in the letters they were carving so that's not actually sapwood even if it looks like it. Let me know if some of this will work for you and I'll cut some of it up! Thanks for considering the offer!
