More blanks and pics

[NewLondon88]

A few people asked me if I could get better pics, some with the wax removed
to see what's underneath. I tried over several days, but the camera just doesn't
like me. But I got a few pics out. I removed the wax from one side and either
used a scraper or planer to get to the wood. Most have either acrylic spray or
a touch of linseed oil so you can see the figure.


Fiddleback blackwood 2.75 x 23 $40
(if cut to 11", fits in a medium flat rate, good for peppermills
and very curly/chatoyant ) SOLD


Second pic
Claro walnut block 9x5.75x2" $35 (great figure)
Quebracho 3x3x12 $15 SOLD
Black palm 2x2x12 $6



Third pic
Sweetgum: 8x8x4 waxed $15
Black Cherry 8x8x4 waxed$20
2) AA figured maple 7x7x2 unwaxed $12 ea
Danto (bitterwood) 6x6x4.5" $20


adding a bit more.. have some woods that would make
nice pen blanks but I haven't cut them yet as people might
like to cut them at certain angles on their own.
Here's a piece of lacewood and bubinga. The bubinga
is curly, I'm not sure how much that would show
in a pen blank. But it lights up when you turn it a certain
way. The lacewood.. well it's always nice.
Also have tigerwood (goncalo alves) but can't get the
camera to read the card (again!) These are thick enough
to make 1" blanks, and should look great cut at a slight
angle
Bubinga 1x1x6" $3
Lacewood 1x6" $2
Tigerwood 1x6" $2



12/18 Update: uncovered some nice morado. Sanded part of it
and put some BLO on to show the color. Mostly a combination
of coffee/cream and chocolate colors. I love this stuff. It will
take a beautiful natural polish. Some call it Bolivian Rosewood,
but it isn't a rosewood at all, and nowhere near as expensive.
This is 4/4 (maybe even 5/4) and I haven't cut it yet in case
people want it cut at an angle. $2.50 ea. for 6" blanks

Charlie, I'll take the Quebracho and the Blackwood

 

[NewLondon88]

I'll get it packed up..

if you want, I can cut it up in tiny pieces so it will
fit in a small flat rate box..

I'll take the Lacewood and Tigerwood.

another request to show the wood better.
(sorry!)
Managed to get a pic with some oil on the blanks so you can
see what it looks like 'wet' and the other one is sanded to
600 and I hit it with a carnuba stick so you can see what
it looks like with a gloss. I really like this wood.

I'd like the black palm but don't really want to pay shipping on that one piece. PM me if you have some other stuff to make it worth the shipping. If not no worries, I'll survive with the other several hundred blanks I thought I "needed".

LOL .. how do you think I got all of these? :tongue:

there's more stuff, just can't get the camera to work. There's
two ceboplast serpentine rods in that photo.. got lots of
smaller (1.5", 2" x 6", 8" and such) pieces of lignum, palm,
pink ivory .. maybe I can drop them on the scanner instead
of fighting the camera.
Maybe I should move this to a paid classified, too.

I'll take the serpentine rods, box em up and PM me a total and your info. Thanks.
