X Cut Birdseye Maple Blanks

[keithlong]

I am looking for some cross cut birdseye maple blanks, 3/4 square and 7/8 square by at least 5 inches long. I was turning a blank the other night, it was late, just came in from mom's and went to the shop and started turning it, and blew it off the tube. I only had the one blank, so now I would like to have some more.

I am willing to trade for these, I have some walnut, mahogany, dry corn cobs, a little blackwood, rifle casings. Or I will purchase some.

I turned the other blank and man it is awesome looking. So I want to finish the pen with a matching blank.

Thanks, Keith

what is the difference between cross cut and regular cut?

Cross Cut means cutting across the grain.
