This contest thread has been moved to the for sale forum at the direction of the moderator.
I like having contests where I can give away pieces of burl and other unusual wood. My idea for this contest would be every Friday afternoon I would have a drawing for a block of whatever sort of wood I was cutting that week. The weekly contest will continue as long as there are new entries each week. I will pick out one of the best pieces and that will be the prize for that week. If you need scales, I can cut it for you. I will also pay for the shipping anywhere in the world.
For this week's drawing (August 27) this is the prize. A block of Golden Amboyna Burl.
I will change the photo every week to show what the coming week's prize will be.
If you have ever used wood from Burl Source or It's a Burl you can enter the contest. It doesn't matter if it was wood you purchased from us, won in a previous contest or got when we were providing beginner wood.
Just make a post telling what kind of wood you got from us. Feel free to post a photo if you'd like.
You get one entry if you have ever gotten wood prior to June 7th.
Every time you get wood after June 7th you can enter again by making another post telling what else you got.
Every Friday afternoon there will be a drawing using a random number generator that will select a number between 1 and the number of posts that have been made in this thread.
I wanted this contest to be a way to reward all of you who have purchased wood from us.
I also need to make a confession of shameless self promotion.
I was hoping that some of you who have never used any of our wood would purchase a piece and try it out. I think it is really good wood and am willing to back it up with a no questions asked money back guarantee. I figured if you don't like what you get, you can get your money back. ...and if you do like what you get, you will probably buy more.
If you have never bought wood from us before and make a purchase, you are welcome to make a post here and enter the contest. You get to enter once for every time you purchase wood from us. The more times you buy, the more times you can enter and the more chances you have to win.
Just make a post that says something like; "I've purchased maple and redwood burl" or "I won a Block of Buckeye burl" or something like that.
Then check back here every Friday afternoon at about 5PM PST to see if you won. If you are the winner, send me a PM with your mailing address so I can mail you your prize.

) with all the burl wood I've gotten from him. I'm particularly a sucker for his old growth redwood stuff as well as some of his buckeye.
