Source for Exotic Burl Blanks - Bad Dogs ?

[magpens]

A few years ago, I bought some Aussie burls from Bad Dogs Burl Source.

The website was ... www.burlsource.com ... not sure if it's working now ... looks strange.

Bad Dogs Burl Source is no longer a registered EBay seller .

Anybody know anything about this source ?

Or any alternate source for Aussie burls such as Corrugatta and Concinna, and others ?

I believe the business was sold a while back, the new owner had a house fire (possibly a rented space) and I don't think the business ever was restarted. This is all based on 2nd hand information -- except for the fact that I couldn't find them either.

I have heard good things about australianburls.com . There is a limited selection of pen blanks. Seems like higher end pieces and high but not completely unreasonable prices.

Been a few years since I bought from them. Doesn't look like they sell anymore. Might try Bellforest or Cook woods

Mind you there maybe some validity in the statement , NEED is the key word. WANT is another debate altogether, in my house anyway...

You're no salesman, Joe, saying that I don't need wood when that's your business !
It's specifically Aussie burls that I want/need (what's the diff ?) at this time. . Not much available.

EDIT: Haha !!! , Joe . . I see that you have now been inspired to post a "Pen Blank Sale # 2" Ad.

I'll take the credit for that inspiration .... plus this follow-up !! . And I see you've included some Eucalyptus ... gettin' close, but not close enuff !!

There you go ... you even got a sale ... thanks to me !! . Don't forget to send along my commission !!
