Not cheap stuff but I would part with some for a wood sample collector.
That way I know it will be appreciated and in a collection.
Sorry pictures don’t due it justice.

Hey Glenn what are you asking for your Chittum Burl? Boyd- AKA Leroy Blue
You are the owner of this thread?
Sorry have not read whole thread, just saw someone posting wanted a wood sample for there collection.
A 3*6 piece is a large piece.
Here are pics and this is 1 inch thick.
Does it have to be solid wood, ie no voids, no bark?

I have a four foot tall stump that I split in half long ways. The core is heavily bug damaged but amazingly strong. The rest of the stump is to hard or did not taste good to the bugs.
3+ years ago when cut it was a beautiful deep scarlet red but now drying has faded but still beautiful. Straight grained wood and very unique bark. I can now identify a Scarlet Oak in the field from it’s bark.

Beautiful Glenn what are you asking for it?
Boyd said he would give first dibs to the wood collector. Now that’s a nice guy!
@Leroy Blue
Glenn,
I did not see Boyd state such in the open forum. It is his thread, and he has first choice on items offered. I believe you have mixed us up. I apologize for the confusion and hope it can be worked out.
The piece you posted this morning is very nice and would work for me if Boyd declines.
I’ll get Boyd to shot you a message, it was in a pm. I think that one piece will cover you both, I hope.
If that is so, sounds great.
I liked the third picture where the 3" x 6" paper had some natural looking edge to the left. It also covered 3 color shifts which is great. How much for the sample, and to ship to Pennsylvania, zip-code 18460? If you have the history, where it was grown / harvested. I like to document the chain of custody for each sample.
Thank you.

Glenn looks like the perfect collectors piece let’s let Mr.Peet the collector say
Mr. Peet I Would like you to have first dibs on Glenn Lefley offering. I hope you find some great reasonably price samples for your collection.
Yesterday Richard at McLendons had several larg Chittum Burl. I did not get a price but he has sliced up Burls.
Mr. Peet. I will cut that tommorrow and send it. Let me know your address. I’d love to see a piece go into your collection. Just send me what you think it’s worth to you. Thanks Glenn.

Glenn thank you for jumping in and working with Mr.Peet! A 3x6x1/2 piece of Chittum Burl is not a every day cut of wood.
Do you have any for sale that I could cut pistol grips from 4.5 x 1.75 x 0.75?
Thank you

I’m sure I can. Will pm you later.
Sounds great. Could you cut it at least an 1/8" over 3" and 1/8" over 6" so I can work it to get a feel, taste and smell if you follow. Secondly, please post pictures of the piece and tag Boyd and I. I would like Boyd's opinion as well as others what a fair price would be, being I never purchased any. Thank you.
M.R. Peet
Would you like the piece to be free and clear of bark and everything. I’ve never supplied a piece for a wood collector. I can cut it in such a way it can be. I’ve often seen the standardized size for a wood collector. I’ll also get you the info of where it came from exactly. I’ll need your address for shipping.
Seeing as your a collector, odo you have Siamese rosewood in your collection. I got a huge piece Year’s ago legally from Asia still have paperwork. I see it’s a shame but they predict the trees will be extinct in 10 years.

I’ll let Mark chime in first and if need be I’ll get you a ball park for how much it cost ber board foot. There is a vendor where you are in CA who actually carries Siam/Vietnamese rosewood (Dalbergia conchinchinensis) it is however not in stock anymore.

Chittum Burl is to small and odd shaped to measure by the board foot. I have always bought and sold it by the pound.
Like all wood deals or trades there is some variables
-If your purchasing multiple pounds of a root ball or Burls with stems and dirt (forest fresh)
- Dry - $10.00 a pound and up
-Wet or not dry-$5.00 a pound and up
Or purchasing a trimmed dry slice with lots of eyes $30.00 to $45.00 a pound.
I have payed more $ per pound but I had to wright it off to education.
