A neighbour of mine, who used to be a turner, just gave me some blocks of dirty old wood. I just ran them through my planer and here's what I have!

I think theres some quilted pink ivory and some honduran rosewood but I'm not 100% sure.

Let me know what you think these are.

Thanks, guys.

So, shall I cut them up and sell off the blanks or keep the boards?

Anyone else know what they are?

Do not cut up the pink ivory board!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That thing is worth $$$$$ if it a big board stock. When you have boards like this. Cut off what you need for some pens and keep the rest big stock. The chances of you getting an order for 50 bocote pens is slim. So just keep it as a board. And you have the ability to sell it as a board. Or later on sell them as pen blanks.
