[rockb]

Hi Guys, I'm offering three lots of bigleaf maple burl pen blanks for sale. I would recommend stabilizing before use. Some are fairly hard but some you can dent with your fingernail.

MP70 $22.00 plus $4.00 to ship = $26.00 total. Bigleaf maple burl pen blanks that should be stabilized before using. Note a lot of spalting in these. Five pieces measure 7/8 x 7/8 x 5" long. There may be a few slightly under 7/8" where I either got a little heavy handed while sanding or needed to "true" up a side. Two misted pics.

Those are beautiful. IMHO, BLMB is one of the prettiest woods in the world. One of my personal pens is made with it. If I didn't already have thousands of blanks waiting to be made into pens I would buy some. BTW, I stabilize wood and have found that all the maples take stable very well. Your advice should be heeded by whoever buys these. A stabled BLMB pen is eye-popping.
