These are all sold now. Thanks everybody!

This is old stock desert ironwood that came from the estate of an old wood turner. We got this from another burl dealer when we went on our redwood burl hunt the other day. These blocks were cut from my last piece of the ironwood. I cut this piece last because it was the most difficult. It also yielded the nicest blocks after 2 days of cutting and trimming.

These blocks might seem a bit expensive at first glance. I decided to cut this piece with the only considerations being size and quality. There was a lot more work and waste, but I think they are worth the extra money. Most of these are big enough for a bowie, large fighter or maybe a couple smaller knives. The majority of these pieces are near perfect with little or no flaws.

These photos show both sides of the blocks wiped with a damp cloth to give a better idea how they will look finished.

When you see blocks you want, just post "I'll take #s ...." and I will mark them sold for you. US shipping is $2.50 each or $10 for as many will fit in a flat rate box.

Paypal is our preferred method of payment. Our address for paypal is itsaburl@hotmail.com. Payment is requested within 7 days. If you need to pay with a money order let me know and I will PM our mailing address.

If you need a little more time for payment, please send a PM asking first before posting I'll take #.... I will try to be flexible.
These blocks come with a "No Questions Asked, Money Back Guarantee". If for any reason they are not exactly what you wanted, just send them back within 7 days for a full refund.

I'll take 839 too. Thanks.
You picked my favorite. I emailed a photo of this one to one of the forum members and he drove out here even though it's pouring down rain. That is why there was a delay posting these last four blocks.

Ben B,
I marked yours sold as you requested in your PM

He drove all the way out there and didn't take it? Lucky me.:p

Really nice stuff!:thumbup:

I told him the trimmed and sanded ones were for the forum only. The piece he got was the next cut from the log that I had not trimmed up yet as well as some buckeye. (oops, I probably shouldn't have said the B word)
 
Oh, OK. I'll take 833. Add it to my selections from the first DI thread. :) PM with totals and shipping when things close down.

Was away from home for about 5 days and the box came... Whoo hoo! Great stuff Mark :)

The figure isn't as crazy as some of my blocks out there, but it's SUPER dense and the oversized blocks are PERFECT for me.

Thank you so much for the present Mark!!! :D :cool:

Once again, another superb transaction.

THANK YOU MARK! :)
