Mango bowl blanks.
They are not square, and coated in wax. I’ll try and give the dimensions at the smallest point in each direction. They do have beautiful figure, but there are some insect holes that knock down their value a bit.

Left 8”x8”x2 1/4”

Right 8”x8”x2”

$22.50 each plus shipping

Wow. You’re really selling your stock. Why may I ask? Not because of injury I hope.

This is only the tip of the iceberg lol. I found a huge collection in Australia. Like 70 species I don’t have and large pieces of other stuff I already have. I need to pay for it. Then I need to pay my friend and his diesel cost to drive 9 hours each way to pick it up for me. I’ll still need to pay for shippImg down the road. But one step at a time lol

Ooh! Nice. What species? Good to hear it’s not negative.

Hard to remember them all, definitely can’t do botanical names off the top of my head.
Bonewood
Pink ash (one of my top targets)
Yellow walnut
Pink walnut
Salt gum
Pink gum
A variety of uncommon Acacia Species
Scrub leopardwood
Sugar wood
Ghost gum
Socket wood
Some pieces of red mahogany (Eucalyptus resinifera)
White mahogany
Turpentine
Red tingle

Some blocks of NZ woods also
Pink pine
Perri I think it’s spelled
Matai
Black beech
Rimu
3-4 others

A few uncommon African and South American species I don’t have

Very cool. Any black Maire in the NZ pile? And “some uncommon acacias” leaves too much to interpretation.

No, but I got a piece of Black Marie a few years ago. Smaller than I’d like, but better than none at all.

Things like prickly acacia, horse mulga, A. donaldsonni, dead finish acacia (not acacia carneorum) broad leaf mulga, narrow leaf mulga, black gidgee, Acacia mucronata, A. argyrodendron, Acacia birkittii, raspberry jam, A. nilotica, A. pubifolia. Brigalow Burl, and a small log/stick(2.25” diameter x 8” long.) of Waddywood I’m going to offer to my friend if it’s big enough for a pair of knife scales

Ah yes. Nice. You seem to be getting more and more waddywood. Oh and also, I’m still trying to get a bowl blank of common buckthorn. Really not so easy. If I find some, you’ll know. Can you use smaller sizes?
