These will now be available only at the
2009 DENVER CUSTOM KNIFE SHOW
August 21st,22nd and 23rd
Australian Burl Concinna
$10 OFF the price on the chart below per block through Saturday, 8/2 ....First come, first served. Since I'm below cost, unfortunately no free shipping with this offer. This offer goes for all the Australian Burls I have on the forum.
Thanks to Will Levitt I have a new (used) Burr King to pay for.
Professionally stabilized by River Ridge Products. Aussie Burl is hard and heavy it runs about 40% heavier than our domestic burls and it polishes out like glass. I have a limited supply as I sell my surplus to help offset what it costs me. If you would like some, just reply with the piece number(s) in your post so we can keep it straight and Ill update as we go.
Prices are on the chart below and vary slightly according to size.
If you've never used Aussie Burl on your knives...you're REALLY missing out. I wouldn't go to the extreme of buying raw burls, drying it, cutting it, and sending it off to be stabilized if it weren't worth it. Great burl increases the value of your custom knives.
Why settle for less? Tell me that the knives by the makers on this forum aren't worth it.
If youre not familiar with Australian Burls, like Snakewood and some Ironwood, they are very prone to checking. Checking is normally found around the eyes in a burl. It's a way for the burls to deal with the intense heat in the areas that they grow. Its not uncommon for the temps to reach 130 degrees. By checking they are releasing stress. Checks are not the same as cracks which can go all the way through a piece of wood - they are usually localized and they don't affect the stability of the wood. Any knifemaker that knows how to work exotic wood can tell you that if, after shaping your handle, you find a check, all you need to do is mix up some of the pure sawdust with a little epoxy, Acri-glass or even Zap-a-Gap and fill the checks. Sand the excess and youre done. I can send a small packet of species appropriate sawdust with your order if you like. I make sure its clean so no steel dust or rubber from the belt cleaner is in it. If its clean, the checks disappear.
Price: as per chart; plus $5.00 shipping to the continental U.S. for as many that fit into a small flat rate box.
Overseas buyers pay actual freight and only Paypal is accepted for out of the U.S. sales.

Thanks for checking it out. God Bless.
