Red Eye - Dead Man's Burl - Blocks or Scales

[Burl Source]

Most of these have been sold so this thread is closed now. Thanks everyone

Actually I wanted to call this wood "Flashy Red Eye Dead Man's Maple Burl". But I figured it might be too long and maybe even confusing.

These blocks were cut from a dusty old burl slab that was stored away and forgotten. It was part of the estate of a burl shop owner who passed away quite a few years ago. The grandson brought in a bunch of the wood and sold it to us last year. This is the slab before I started cutting.

At first, I wasn't even sure it was maple. The wood has a reddish tint and eyes that make it look a bit different from what you expect with maple burl. The figure is a bit flashier as well. This shows a generic piece of maple burl and a piece of this stuff.

If you don't want to use the name I have given this wood, I guess you could just call it "Maple Burl".

[Kraze]

I wanted to let everyone know this Red Eye Dead Man's Burl is great looking! I decided to fix up a old Henkels cleaver I had that was dull and tarnished and it had broken handle. This wood is beautiful finished.

 

[Kraze]

Mark, put me down for 7201 and 7214 also. thanks, CJ

 

[NRaiano]

I'll take #7207 and #7210 please.
Thnx,
Gabriel.

 

[NRaiano]

Just letting you know that you made a mistake when marking me down. Also was just wondering about the knottyness of 07... Can you tell if it passes through or goes relatively deep please? I really like the grain pattern but It's not worth having a disaster for
Thanks a lot,
Gabriel.

 

[woodysone]

Mark, I'll take 7208 and 7215. Thanks martin

Sorry, I just fixed my typo. I think you will really like 07. There will be a few small voids that look shallow. A little CA glue keeps anything from chipping away when shaping. If any problems, let me know and I'll refund the purchase price.

 

[Darksky]

7219 for me, please. Send a PayPal invoice to Darksky@socolo.net or just send me your PayPal address. Thank you.

Edit- If you still have #135 from the redwood blocks I would like to have it as well. I understand the ten buck deal is off the table.
Let me know.

 

[NRaiano]

Really sorry to mess you around like this but I'm backing out I'm afraid.
The knife I was buying it for is not going to become manifest anymore and as much as I would like to buy this burl to keep for later use my budget's a little tight right now.
So 7209 & 10 are back up.
Sorry for any trouble,
Gabriel.

 

[LWFOWLER]
