I'm looking some really figured red cedar pen blanks. See picture for example. Would like to get 5 if possible depending on the price. Thanks for looking!
Looking for Figured Red Cedar Pen Blanks

@Eric Rorabaugh had some red cedar. I have some but not really sorted yet. Everything from stumps to 1/2 inch thins around my place but not all is dry.
Thanks for the tag but no cedar right now. After SWAT in August and a show in WV in September, I need to restock a lot of stuff.
I will try to check my stuff over the long weekend. I am off till July 5th but my shop roof was awfully cloudy and wet this morning. To the tune of two inches or so in a couple hours.

Thank you. Have a great weekend!
I might have western red burl. At least figured. Much softer then eastern.
What I have doesn’t have much figure to it. Even though it came from an old log it still has some oil and a few tiny cracks. You can see the log I cut it from in the photos I posted in the “Processing” section.

Got pictures Mike? Would it need to be stabilized?
I will try to get pics this weekend. I assume it would need stabilized. Western red is soft. Finding good burl is rare.

Don't worry about it then Mike. I don't have the ability to stabilize. Thanks anyway.
Just grabbed this off the pile at the wood lot this morn, been there a couple years. Sap wood is punky but the red is solid, it’s dry but looks wet cuz it’s raining again today. Will cut the blanks you want in trade for a 6 x 6 x 2.5 defect free block of something unique.

Thank you. I appreciate the offer but I don't have anything to trade and I'm not looking for redwood. I'm looking for figured red cedar.
That is eastern red.

I understand that's cedar. As I said. I don't have anything to trade for it.
I’ve got Eastern red cedar dry but it doesn’t have any curl if you are interested in that.

Thank you but I'm looking for the really figured stuff.
I have a dry ERC live edge board with some figure. It is 8" wide, 5'10" long and 1" thick. I sprayed water on part of the board to better show figure. Not sure this is what you're looking for, but if it is maybe we can work something out.

It looks like it has some decent figure. I don't need nearly that much though.
