lookin for some heavy spalted maple for stab/dying. Looking for pen blank and stopper size would really like the black defined spalt lines also some crosscut pieces. Have a ton of things to trade! Let me some what you've got! Thanks! :good2:

I've got pen blanks. Probably some river birch mixed in with the silver maple. Small flat rate box full?

Yes that is exactly what I am looking for! What were you wanting in trade? If you don't want I can pay too!

Trade is good for me. What have you got in abundance? Anything that doesn't grow around here...

I've got a nice collection of ironwood. What sizes are you looking for? If you want to to a bigger trade I have about a 12 " around mesquite burl that I'd be willing to trade.

I'll turn anything from pen blanks on up. I can't get mesquite around here, so I'm always interested in mesquite... plain or burly. One of my favorite bowls ever was from a plain Jane chunk of Arizona velvet mesquite.

Mesquite burl sounds delicious... what else could I tempt you with?

I've got more spalted stuff including some curly spalted maple in peppermill blank sizes. I've got some fresh Bradford pear. I've got elm burl in stopper/call blank sizes. I've got a little oak burl that could use casting and some black ash burl. I've got buckeye burl in chunks. I've got some Honduran rosewood burl from pen blanks to chunks. I've got a little lignum vitae. I've got some Aussie burls in various sizes. I've got some nice walnut in rounded mill blanks. There's some figured and burly redwood. I'm sure there's some other stuff knocking around the shop that's not coming to mind.

That buckeye and redwood catches my interest. Got any pics?
 
Here are a few things... 10 more spalted maple and birch pen blanks and a few larger spalted birch blanks. A couple of buckeye slices 7/8" thick. A buckeye chunk that is 5 3/4 square by 2-4" tall. Three redwood call blanks(2 curly and one burly) and a cherry burl. What else can I show you?

That works for me! Let me post a pic of that burl I forgot to mention it's still green. If it fits in a large flat rate I will stuff it full with other wood to make up for it? Just let me know. Thanks

Okay so here is that burl. I would have to trim a little to make it fit if that's ok. If not I have a set of mesquite pp mill blanks also some ironwood pen blanks and about a 1 7/8" square chunk of curly palo verde. Let me know!

The mesquite rootball/burl looks interesting... no telling what's inside that! The spindle blanks look cool too... can't tell if those mesquite blanks are actually large enough for mills or not(2 3/4+). I'm not picky, so you can send whatever you'd like.

Got yours boxed up and ready. If you'll PM your address, I'll get the box in the mail next week.

Love the dark socks with the shorts...:taunt:
 
@Az Turnings Got my box today! Everything looks great!

What's the stabilized piece front and center? Some kind of vine?

Great trade! BTW, I added 'closed' to the thread title... if you want more spalted stuff, let me know, and I'll remove that from the title.
