I hope you guys don't get mad at me for listing these.
These are some of the blocks I had stashed for myself and for a coming knife show. I had told several of you that there would be no more of this for sale.
.......but my boss blackmailed me, or you could say he got me to sell these pieces under duress. He said " If you'd sell that good redwood you have stashed, I'll take you to see some of the old timer burl hunters to get some more."
I've pinned him down to go tomorrow morning. We will be going off the beaten path up into the mountains in the redwood forests. Sure hope we find some good stuff.
This wood has to be one of my all time favorites. Super hard stuff that polishes up beautifully. This came from an unusual burl slab that was cut back in the 40s. We got lucky when a lady called wanting to sell us this slab that she had inherited. This is the hardest and heaviest redwood I have ever seen. One of the forum members calculated the density at .85.
It will require some extra work though. There will be open eyes, checks and voids that you may need to fill with CA glue or epoxy. I think the dramatic results are more than worth the extra work involved.
The photos of the blocks show both faces wiped with a damp cloth so you can get an idea how it will look finished. The photos of the scales were taken dry. When you see ones you want, Just post "I'll take #s ....." and I will mark them sold for you. That way nobody else can buy the ones you want out from under you.
US shipping is $2.50 each or $10 for as many will fit into a flat rate box.
