I have an older computer and sometimes I can not open certain links and this is one of them. Is there a work around that I can see?? Maybe open the link and copy and paste it for me. Thanks.

By the way I am looking for burl blanks if that means anything.

John,

I have a 10 pack of rosewood burl blanks that I could part with. They measure 3/4" square x 5"-5.2" in length. PM if you are interested.

Wade

John,

I have bought Honduran Rosewood from IAP member named " exoticwo " and his real name is Albert Kiebert .

You could try him.

Please note that my purchase was NOT burl

John, I was just on the Cook Woods site - lots of Honduras Rosewood, but no burl.

I have rosewood plain grain but the burl is outstanding if I can find good quality. Have a person that is looking for a top quality pen. Trying to avoid the blanks with sap wood.

Try this site, I have no experience but other Woodworkers like it
I have bought from these people before and their product is very good. Unfortunately they are out of pen blanks in HRB. Thanks.

Something like that?

The best I have seen and bought is from Jason Geer in the "What The Blank Auctions - Woodworking Supplies" group on Facebook. Not sure if he sells at other places but I have bought pieces directly from him. Not cheap but superior quality. If you are not on Facebook I can ask him if there is an email address to contact him directly. Let me know.

John, I may have what you are seeking. I will look thru my stock today, and send photos. If he HRB satisfies your requirements, do you have a quantity in mind?

Fred that stuff is gorgeous. That must be museum grade and bet it carries a big price tag. I will check it out. Had to join so I just did.

Hello Steve, Yes it is HRB without sap is what I am looking for. I have a couple members here looking through their stash right now and will get back to me. I will let you know or if you want to shoot me a photo of what you are willing to part with that would be fine too. I am always open for good looking timbers. The goal right now is I need a couple pieces large enough to fit on a full size kit such as a Majestic so I can make a pen for a friend for Christmas as a thank you for helping me this summer. He never wants any rewards so thought a great looking pen would be nice way to thank him. That is one thing I love about this place, there are those that just want to help and it usually happens behind closed doors and does not make the press here but I am thankful. I always try to do the same when I can. Thanks.

I just looked thru my stock of blanks. I found only one HRB that looks as good as you are seeking, but it is not square. It is .840 X .715 X 6".
So the rectangular profile may not work for you. The cost is just what I paid, $18 plus mailing which is about $4, I think, but not sure. Sorry for the mixed up pics...first time I tried to do them, and it looks like dupes.
