I'll take this. Got any longer stock like 2x2x24 or 2x2x18?

I have 1 - 76" x 7" x 1 5/8", 1 - 57" x 7" x 3" and 1 - 14" x 7" x 3".
Are you willing to cut either out the two longer ones? I definitely don't need that full length.

That's fine with me. Can you do 24" of that piece? How much would that be?

Let's do it. The bowl blank and 24" x 7" x1 5/8"? $65.00
Yeah. Just to be clear, the 7 x 1 5/8 stock is similarly figured, right? Do you have a picture?

I will take a picture tomorrow,
hi @Manzanitaman I think I’d like one of the 7 x 7 x 3 bowl blanks. Do you have one that’s quarter on without sap and figure like the first one you posted? Can you post me a picture so I can take a look? If it looks as nice as the first piece I will buy.
By any chance do you have, or have access to grapevine trunks? I’ve wanted to try turning one.

@2feathers Creative Making Frank may have some grapevine trunks. I got some from him a few years back.
Depending upon your needs for size, I may have some spares for you. We'll get you covered somehow or another. :-)
Thanks!

The 7" x 7" x 3" I have are all from the same board.
Did you ever confirm this is Makore? You posted looking for an ID on this before? Just don't believe you should sell as Makore unless you have confirmed ID.

Is this makore?
Yes, this block matches the distinct appearance of highly figured Makore wood. [1]
Specifically, this piece showcases a prominent "block mottle" or heavy curly/fiddleback chatoyancy figure. The deep reddish-brown color, paired with these horizontal shimmering bands that react strongly to overhead light, is a hallmark characteristic of choice, quarter-sawn Makore.

Turns out that piece isn't Makore. They were both in an old storage shed for 40+ years and were rough cut and covered in dust and bird crap. Both were 80" x 7" so I figured they were the same. I planed a 2' piece this morning and it is most likely East Indian Rosewood. It is too heavy to be Black Walnut. Here are some pictures. Do you want this instead?
