For those who like historic wood

[VisExp]

One or Robert Frost's more famous poems is "Tree at my Window".

That tree has been cut down and some of the wood is being made available to wood workers including pen blanks. They come with a certificate of authenticity.

I just spoke to Mr. Charles Dent the trustee of the Robert Frost Farm. He informs me that what he refers to as a block is actually a pen blank. He say's he can cut the blanks to your specification. He does have some bowl blocks, but very few.
Hope this helps.

O.K. $25.00 for one or $60.00 for three, sounds like a unique piece of wood that would require an expensive kit to do it justice. What kit is recommended for such a piece of maple, any suggetsions? Thanks,

Thanks for letting us know. It certainly is a significant tree.

(I have a tree at my window .... wish I could get $25 a blank from it.)

Thanks, I just ordered a set of blanks and enough to make boxes for engraving. I love working with historic artifacts.
