There will be some fantastic blanks created from this beauty. Hopefully the size is portrayed in the photos.

Nice haul! It would be a shame to cut them up. They would look great hanging on a wall as they are!

wow. I really like the areas where the gray and cream swirl together. That buckeye looks great with the wet look of a nice finish on it.

cant wait to see them all done up.

Agreed they would look great hanging on your wall.

Nice score! While it will yield some very nice pens, I think a bowl or carving would be truly stunning and really show off the magnitude of the piece.

Now that's a worthy gloat! Beautiful character in there. Definately one of my favorites.

How thick?

 

[Buzzzz4]

How thick?

about 3 inches

Nice size.

While I think pens dressed in burl are pretty I would mill it, use the ends as mutts and slice 1/16 - 1/8 inch veneers. That would dress some kick tail drawer fronts.

Good gloat.

Holy smokes!

Those are some nice looking peices.

You could even make boxes with them being that thick.
