@manbuckwal and I have been discussing a trade and here's what I came up with.
I should have got pics before I stabilized them, OOPS!
The 2 shorty's on the bottom row are 2 1/2, the first one in the upper row is 2 3/4 and the rest are 3" and better.

You all see the beautiful BEB in the pics above? Well get this, those awesome blanks were the worst of the lot, it only got better. My goodness, how do you keep up with a guy like Tom. Every last piece was just beautiful. I've never seen cheesewood before and am eager to see how it looks turned.
Thank you very much, @manbuckwal

Just a few more blanks, @manbuckwal
Some have sealer on a side or two and all 4 sides were misted. The ones with sealer were reading 10-11mc. The ones without sealer are at 6-7mc. The funny part is that a lot of these were in a scrap box that I couldn't give away.:rofl:

@El Guapo, tom took 1-8 and number 9 has a big inclusion, but the rest are up for a cool trade?

No, but I do have some of the ones from the top pics that are stabilized left.
Now that I have Toms packed I guess I should start a new post with up to date pics, if you'd like?
 
I'd be down for a trade for some of the stabilized blanks or some unstabilized slabs/cutoffs for my coin displays. Just let me know (no hurry).

Cool, what's the minimum size that you can use for your coin displays?
 
They only need to be about 3/4 - 1" thick with two parallel faces... the size and shape of the faces is less important, but a good rule of thumb is a minimum of 30 sq inches on one face (no maximum).
