Stab oak Burl?

[Rmartin]

I have a few Stab oak burl pen blanks. Does anyone know anything about this wood. There are over 500 species of oak worldwide, so I'm not even sure where this is from. I haven't been able to find any info through my google searches.

Thanks

Stabilised Oak Burl?

Stabilised Oak Burl?

Hmmmmm.......

I don't think so, but it's a slim possibility I admit.

I haven't heard of Stab oak but there are a lot of oaks out there. Do you know what part of the country it came from?

I've gone through my invoices for this year, but can't find where I bought it. I may have traded for it. I do a lot of trading.

The blank has this written on it in black marker:

JW Stab oak Burl

I would guess Stabilized Oak is correct, that is how I would label my blank if I had it stabilized. Turn it and find out, should smell the stabilizing resion as you cut.

I ordered some recently from someone on the list called wolfdancer. It is really nice material

Mine is being cut from a 500 pound Spalted Oak Burl its not stablized. If you are able to post a picture of it I could help with the ID of it. Here is a picture of the stuff that I am selling.

Thanks Rod

Stablized seems to be the best option, but I still would like to know what species of oak this is, It's very brown. Here's a pic:

Looks like Lacy she oak form Down under

Looks a lot like some Hairy Oak Burl I used to use. A bit darker but prolly from the stabilizing resin.
