Two tone ambonya blank

[Dan Masshardt]

I'm trying to hunt down a nice 2 tone amboyna blank full size pen blank.

Does anybody have one nice solid blank with a good, deep 2 tone swirl for a reasonable price?

Another type of wood with a strong 2 tone might be okay too.

Thanks.

Hey Dan;
Take a look at these blanks I have. Not Amboyna, but at least Black and White. #1 is marked "Cocobolo Rosewood with Spalting", #2 is "Black and White Ebony", and #3 is unknown. Sizes are #1 = 3/4" X 3/4" X 8", #2 = 1 1/16" X 1 1/8" X 8 7/8", and #3 = 3/4" X 3/4" X 9 3/4" and has a worm hole in it.
Let me know if any of these would help!

Define reasonable price I have a couple of pieces...3/4 x 3/4 x 5
Premium Amboyna Burl. The blanks are better than the picture which is just a quick scan.

Heartwood/sapwood - Amboyna. All pics from the same 4 blanks, rotated each picture. 3/4" x 3/4"x 5.25".

The third one looks interesting.

Thanks for posting Smitty. I'm ideally looking for a blank that blends the two woods a bit more.

$10-$12 plus shipping is the range I'd like to be in.

Thanks for posting Mark. I do have some stuff like that already. Kind of looking for the reddish / cream colors.
