Hi folks,
I have been gathering for some time some burl blanks of various species that are very lightweight compared to my normal woods and that are ideal for International shipping for most members/friends here on IAP.
The 3 species offered today are;
Australian Olive root:
These are some of the better pen blanks processed all the way back to 2012 when I got some Olive roots and processed a few for drying, as shown on this thread.
The Olive root has a mix of everything in it, from burleyes, blue, curl, milky spots, and crazy grains, Olivewood when dry, turns into a lightweight wood with a very distinct workability smoothness and smell, a very different one than regular Olivewood.
Tasmanian Oak burl:
These were processed from a chunk of burl that I had put aside and out of site for some time so, I thought that was time to share it.
Again, this burl is super lightweight but it won't need stabilization at all.
Poplar burl:
This is also very lightweight and pretty burl wood, the contrast between the eyes and the wood colour make it a very interesting blank to see made into a nice pen. Most burl eyes are hollow and semi-hollow, this gives a great opportunity to be creative and decided if filling the burl eyes with a matching colour material such as the typical ground coffee mix or, maybe make it a contrast and use some of the many precious stones that are now available in crashed form such as Turquoise.
In average, regular wood in packs of 4 blanks weighs close to 250gr each so, 4 packs would make it 1kg however, these are about 150gr. each pack so I can fit 6 packs in a box for the same 1kg total weight.
For USA, Canada and UK the shipping cost is AU$12.00 for the first 250gr and then an extra AU$4.00 for every increment of 250gr after that.
All other countries except Australia and the above ones, the shipping option will be Express Courier International and the costs are AU$28.00 for the first 250gr and then AU$4.00 for every 250gr increment.
For Australian residents, the freight cost is $9.00 for a 500gr postal bag, $14.00 for a 3kg bag and $18.00 for a 5kg postal bag.
Please, select the packs you like and either post here your selection or PM me, I will then update the stock availability on this thread so that everybody can follow/see.
