A few more Golden Amboyna slabs. These contain the pinned edge to maximize stock usage. I drew a circle on E-G to give a better sense of available area. Any free space in the box will be filled with Amboyna Burl bits. All slabs were sanded on the Supermax drum sander, so slab faces is flat and parallel

Four blocks with rough average dimensions shown below;
E) 8-3/4'” x 6-1/4” x1-5/8” - 6-3/4” circle drawn on one side
F) 10” x 6" x 2-3/16" - 6-3/4” circle drawn on both sides
G) 9” x 6” x 1-5/8" - 6-3/4" circle drawn on one side
H) 7” x 5” x 15/16"

5 lbs 12 oz x $13/lb = $75 + $18 shipping = $93 shipped
@Nature Man

As we discussed via PM, you were interested in burls similar to E, F or G.

Since @Dmcoffman has not been online for a few days, I am going to let you take your pick. Price per pound on a single slab is $15. The slab weights are as follows;

E weighs 1.75# = $26 + shipping
F is 2.25# = $34 + shipping
G is 1.25# = $19 + shipping

I cut more today and can still get Don a box if he returns in the next day or two.

Thanks!

Don’t want to upset any apple cart, but I’ll take “E”. Thanks! Chuck

Eric, I received my box today. I’ve gotta say I’ve never seen such a well organized and packed box. Bullet proof. Took me forever to break into it. Thanks very much for the bits and filler.

The USPS mail handling (aka wood chipper) equipment worried me over Christmas, so I had to devise countermeasures! Haha

Based on our PMs, here's a few Amboyna slabs.

Two measure roughly 6” x 8” x 1-9/16” thick and the smaller is 5-1/2” x 8” x 1-1/4”. They all weigh 3.5 pounds @ $13/lb = $45 + shipping. Thanks!

Apologies for the delay, I enjoyed New Years celebrating a little too much! 🥳

I have several options for you:
First is an MFRB of Amboyna with a burl slab and also various burl blocks.
  • Slab: max dimensions are 8-1/2” x 7-1/2” x 1-11/16” sides sanded flat and parallel
  • Big block: dims 7-1/4” L x 4-7/8” x 2-3/4” Two tone, 2 out of 8 corners are the burl pinned surface
  • Small blocks:
    • 1-5/8” SQ x 6”L,
    • 1-3/4” x 2-1/4” x 2-3/8”L,
    • 1-1/2” SQ x 5-1/2”L,
    • 1-1/2” x 2-1/4” x 3-3/4”L (red amboyna)

Weight was 5.37 pounds @ $13/lb = $70 + $18 shipping = $88
