Gauging interest- Buckeye Burl blocks....

[J. Doyle]

Just trying to see if any of you guys would be interested in buying some high quality, stabilized buckeye burl blocks?

These would be average block size around 5" x 1 1/2" 1 1/8". Good quality stuff not many checks or voids. Really nice color and figure.

I am NOT a wood supplier and don't want to compete with Mark or some of the other suppliers. I just like buckeye, I have a big burl to cut and I'd have extra blocks. Not sure how many yet but should be quite a few.

If there's interest, I will start cutting this soon. If not, it may wait 6 months or a year. The burl is good and dry and ready to stabilize.

I'm thinking the stabilized blocks would in the neighborhood of $20. I could cut bigger blocks if someone wanted some larger ones.

Any one interested? I'm not looking for committments here just feeling out how soon I should get at this.

How about some pictures of that big ol' burl? Maybe a shot of the cut face?

I am always interested, but not always flush...and somewhat fussy. I'd love to see the stuff.

Okay. Definitely enough interest to get moving on this asap. thanks guys.

I'll post pics of the burl in a day or so.


I also prefer the dark colors with a bit of the yellow or orange for contrast.

Here's just some blocks that I got out of the last one.

And here's a couple from my own stash.

I should be able to get three times the blocks as last time.
