I was going to add this information to some other threads I made recently about these 2 wood species but I then thought that would be less confusing to make a dedicated thread for the possible sale of some of these blanks that I promised to take pics of and show them to all of you.
I started cleaning the bark from the new Cork tree burl blanks I now have and that I have ben cutting these past few days, some go for pen blanks, other for casting, sole go for slices and some are cut into small and medium size bowl blanks, that can have the top burl cap cut or left for those wanting to create natural edge pieces as some of the pieces I recently turned and shown here.
To note that, each blank as 2 pics taken, one from the side and front with all its info and the other pic is from the other 2 sides and the underneath.
After the Cork pieces, I continued with some of the Peppercorn burl bowl blanks, I didn't clean as many as the bark is harder to remove but, I have plenty that are cut and drying for later to remove the bark.
None of these blanks have been in the oven yet, I'm hoping that the water dries out soon because these 2 wood species are of fairly light weight nature so, less expensive to ship overseas
All these blanks were cut having in mind the average lathe size you guys have, I know some of you have big lathes and I can cut bigger blanks but these sizes will suit any of those of you that want to have a go turning these woods. They both are a pleasure to turn...!
I Haven't put any prices yet, I'm considering how much to charge but and always, whatever I decided, will be a fair price...!
Let me know if you are interested.
Cheers
