Maybe. I'm always interested in mesquite, pecan, white oak and walnut. I'd actually prefer some larger stuff. In the neighborhood of 5/4 thick 2-3 inches wide and 12-14 inches long. Let me know if you have anything like that.
 
Jarod,
Thank you for responding to my query. I'm new around here and am interested in seeing what the general interests are. I will see what I can put together that might interest you. Hope you have a good day.

I'm not sure of the markets, most of my pens are made for gifts and supporting some local ministries. Most folks love the black walnut pens/pencils, oaks, etc. Recently I was given a small block of Texas Ebony, Ebenopsis ebano. From what I've learned it only grows in the Rio Grande area in the US and in Mexico and is very dense. I have not worked it yet but in plans to do a small bowl. Enjoy!

Mac, thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I have seen a little Texas Ebony, it is beautiful wood. I 'll keep a look out for some although it I'm a bit too far east for it to be readily available.
 
Thank you for responding! I appreciate you taking the time. Well, to be honest I haven't turned a whole lot of pen yet, still really a semi beginner. But I think some of this red gum or sweet gum would make a beautiful pen. It took a little research even to actually find out what kind of wood it was at first.

Colorado and a large flat rate box would be great!
Hoping eventually you have some pecan and mesquite.
I'll send you a conversation and we can work out the details.
