Need space looking to trade current stock for new blanks Help blanks find a new home!

[grz5]

I have a lot of extra blanks and material that I cannot see myself using in the near future. I would rather attempt to find a good home for my extra material (as limited as they may be) in the hopes of possibly trading instead of seeing them collect dust on a shelf.

Since I am unable to cast, dye, or stabilize blanks on my own I would like to try and see if I can trade what I have for a smaller collection of blanks that wont go to waste.

I don't have my own bandsaw but if needed I can find a way cut some of the larger pieces down so they can fit in a flat rate USPS box. I am also willing to mix different blanks together to reach an agreement on any trade.


Here's what I have to offer:

Pen Blanks:

Purple-heart & Maple ( 5 1/4" x 7/8" x 3/4")
Qty: 11

Curly Maple (5" x 7/8" x 1")
Qty: 8

Since there appears to be no interest I'll have the thread closed.

You may try offering them for sale with a price. Personally I don't like when there is no price as you're not sure what the selling hopes to get and don't want to insult them.

I wasn't looking to sell them really I was just looking to see if anyone wanted the blanks and was will to swap a blank or to for a bunch of mine but I'll post them in the for sale section. (Just use the money towards some blanks :) )

Thanks for pointing out the misname, I'll fix it.

I'm interested in different cast blanks, PR, alumilite, amalgamut....etc etc, pen kits (7mm or 10mm preferably) or different tools that may be useful.

Don't be afraid to make an offer, I wont be offended :). I'm trying to get my excess into hands that will use it and it would be a perk to get something out of the exchange but the main thing is that it will be used :)

I haven't heard much on this thread so I'm going to say the thread is closed.
