Gloat, Cool Older Material for Pens

[mrburls]

I just received some older material for making pens, can't wait to try this stuff out.
Here are pictures of 3 of the slabs. One looks like snakeskin another is horn (second photo shows edge of horn material) and not sure what the third is called.
Thanks for looking, Keith "mrburls"

Cool looking materials Keith. How big are those slabs or at least how big is the area we see in the pictures? Do you know what the material is and age? Thanks.

Drool. In case you have excess, I would love a piece or two. I really enjoy using old materials. Happy turning.:biggrin:

The material I'm told is Italian made by Mazzuchelli and the size of slabs are about 14" x 7" x 17mm (11/16") thick. Will work nicely with Jr. size pens and more. The Horn slab is bigger and thicker.
