A couple of months ago I got in on Dario's Chef's special - and sent an extra $20 for some guaranteed nice wood
I'm finally getting around to turning the amazing looking buckeye burl he sent. I'll have a new Black Titanium Sierra to take a picture of soon - but I have a feeling the buckeye will be really pretty. By the way - the nice length of the blank he sent gave me a Sierra blank and enough left over for a full size pen. If you have the opportunity to get in on that Chef's special - give him a yell - the wood is primo.
The White Oak Burl I sold shorts of two weeks ago is stunning. I wish I hadn't sold those darn shorts. David, Roy, Ken, and Chuck got some nice wood
The guy who let me at the trees with the burls got a Sierra today. He turned around and handed me two more large burls from the same tree and said he cut them out before turning the log to mulch. He's keeping an eye out for me. I love guys like that. BTW - he can't believe the wood could look that good - afterall - he's been cutting it up for years. If I can get Dario to send me his snail mail again -I'll send him a few blanks of the stuff.

Pictures to follow soon - if they look ok.
