Burr Walnut ~ Desperate Please Help!!

[Richard Westcott]

Hi,

I recently took a commission to make 4 Majestic fountain pens in Burr Walnut and it is slowly turning into something that I regret!

I live in the UK and have tried everywhere to get some Burr Walnut blanks, I was wondering if anyone knew of an outlet in the USA.

Fortunately I have some time to complete to commission, but it would be nice to find the blanks as soon as possible.

Many thanks for your help

Richard

Does it have to be Black Walnut, Claro, Engllish or anything? Here are some on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=walnut+burl+pen+blank

Over here, we call them burl, so you might have more success if you use that in your search parameters if you want to find others.

Thanks for your help Stephen, purchased some nice spalted burl maple too!

All the best
