Best 8 blanks from these?

[dabull24]

Im about to start cranking out these Jr. Gents for Christmas gifts...Which 8 blanks would you guys use from these?

 

[Nolan]

WOW I dont know but them are some nice looking blanks:biggrin:

 

[Wildman]

I like all of them!

 

[mick]

I'd order 9 more kits.....lol
Seriously I'd leave out the Maple unless you especially wanted one out of a lighter wood. I'd be sure to use the Thuya and Box Elder, as well as the Rose Myrtle and redwood burls. Use the darker blank, second from left in the first picture...I can't read the name but it looks like a rosewood. Round it out with the Brown Mallee, Taz burl and the Black locust. Just my opinion .....but you asked...lol

Opinions are def. welcome! I like all of them too, hard to choose.

Don't use any of them, send them to me.

 

[arioux]

Don't use any of them, send them to me.

I'm not that overdemanding, use any 8 and send THE REST to me

 

[NewLondon88]

I'm not demanding AND I can send to Canada.
Send them to me and I'll send them to Alfred.

I promise. :tongue:

Easy question to answer. Just close your eyes & start picking.

 

[RustyNail]

I'm a fan of the Australian woods!

 

[dabull24]

which ones are australian?

 

[NewLondon88]

which ones are australian?

Probably the coolabah, the mallees .. taz .. the myrtle?
They've got some great woods to play with over there.. :biggrin:

 

[GouletPens]

It's hard for me to say, I'd have to see them in person. Let me know when you pack them up and I'll give you my address...:tongue:

No seriously, you can't really go wrong with any of them. It's probably more important to pick the ones you know will work well with the type of hardware you're using. But really, you can't go wrong with any of them!

I'm a rookie, but why not turn them all and see which ones finish the best? I know I'd probably destroy one of them and end up with just 8 unintentionally.

I would love to but dont have the money.

 

[dabull24]

Heres the first one I just made, My first try at CA finish also. Only problem I had was the CA seemed to flake away the wood where I unattached them from the bushings, any tips on preventing that? Wood was Rosewood burl.

the coolabah, the mallees, taz burl and myrtle all came from Australia originally but they were also in Oakdale for some time :biggrin:
