This is the actual buy. Please read everything before responding. If you are not sure, ask. This is my first group buy. :bulgy-eyes:
I am looking for the first 10 people who want to buy 10 blanks of Irish bog oak. You must buy 10 blanks for this buy - no more, no less.
Due to several factors, namely the supply, I can only take 10 people.
Please respond in this thread and then PM me directly. In your PM, please include your actual name and your email that you use for paypal.
I will PM you back to confirm that you are in and give you my paypal email address.
You must PayPal me $69 by Friday at 11:00 pm eastern time. If everybody gets in their payment before that, I will place the order before that. If you cannot pay by Friday night, please do not participate.
Paypal is the only payment option for this buy.
U.S.A. is the only shipping destination for this buy. I realize that these factors exclude some people. I am trying to make this first buy very simple. If we do a second buy, which I hope to, I will try to be more flexible.
The $69 includes the cost for the 10 blanks shipped to me from Ireland, USPS flat rate small box and my paypal fees.
So you are paying exactly $6.90 per blank including shipping and fees.
These blanks come from a woodworker in Ireland named Kevin Magrath. He is also an ebay seller whom I've been in ongoing conversations with to get this deal done at a decent price. Look on ebay at what Irish Bog Oak blanks cost shipped.
It will take approx 2 weeks for them to get to me. I will have the packages ready and mail out the next day after I receive them.
If there are any additional customs fees, the supplier has agreed to pay them.
However, we collectively assume the risk for any customs delay etc that is beyond my control. This is a real factor but will hopefully be no problem. You just need to be aware that there is the outside possibility that there could be a holdup at customs.
I have received samples from the supplier and the quality I find to be pretty good. In my opinion it is fairly dark but there are some brown hues to the wood. Also, the sample that I turned had some open grain. If you need advice on working with bog oak, I'd be happy to help.
Kevin tells me that all blanks are of similar quality from the same piece of wood. If you are not satisfied with the wood, I cannot be personally responsible. There is some risk involved.
There is no certificate of authenticity due to cost of getting each larger piece of wood carbon dated.
First 10 to respond in thread with a followup PM are in. Payment due by Friday 11:00 pm eastern or the next person in line gets an opportunity.
Thank you very much. I'm hoping for a successful buy here and more in the future. Pictures in a soon to follow post.
