The first time I saw Oliepod for sale was on ebay. There were several lots of half blanks and a few of full blanks. I saw one lot go for $150 I myself had bid $90 (that I didn't have, believe me) on the same lot. It was that good. I have not seen the likes of those since, except just now and then there is maybe one group that comes close. It's a terrific wood, with the right kit. The half blanks make excellent Atlas or Sierra pens, and I almost wish I'd saved the one above for a bigger pen. I have one more long blank and it will be almost as good as that one if I use a big pen kit and drill it just right.

Yeah, I'm watching that one myself. Those are half blanks. Not too bad. You want the ones that have the brown and the orange. Who is the guy trying to get $125 for an oliepod pen that mine blows out of the water? Is somebody willing to give that much for mine above? I'd almost consider selling it for that much.
I'm also watching those large chunks.

I poked around the net using an image search (search parameters: Oliepod, oliepod burl, currant resin tree.) That stuff continues to be very rare.

Kaspar, I believe he is a member of The Pen Shop or the Yahoo group.

I'm going to watch that just to see how much he gets for it.
Here's what good oliepod blanks look like:
I also have a picture of the lot that went for $150. In fact, it was $168 now that I think about it. If I find it I'll post it.

That's the bunch. And they were just half blanks.

Congrats on winning that wood.

Maybe about a third of them will yield something. I wouldn't have given more than $12.50 for them.
Those two big chunks might be more interesting though.

Thanks. Just keep checking ebay every few days, put "oliepod" in the search window, and hope you get lucky. I do that myself and I still haven't seen many even close to that first bunch they put up.

Oiepod looks great Kaspar what it like to turn.[?]

The orange sections are pretty hard, the brown gives it up easily. You can even feel the difference while your drilling it. I emailed Rivers Edge Exotics via their ebay store. They plan to put more Oliepod up this coming week. Possibly even Monday.
