None of these have been finished sanded all rough cut off the bandsaw so you can expect your blocks to look better than the pictures. Money back if you are not happy.

I have about 15 red mallee burl blanks ( 1 5/8 x 1 1/16 x 5 1/8)that are packed with burl eyes and figure over a red/watermellon color. There are some small voids/cracks around the eyes which is common in some red mallee but these are the best of the best for this dense australian wood. I have one blank at 2 1/4 thick also. 18 bucks each.

I have 2 exhibition grade claro black walnut burl blanks. These blanks are packed with burl eyes and swirling grain. It was hard to get a good picture. I have one side wetted and one dry but it is still hard to see the true figure. Trust me these are amazing. The small blank is 1 x 1 1/2 x 5 1/4 and the bigger blank is 1 x 1 3/4 x 5 3/4. 18 bucks each I have a large block of this exhibition black walnut so if you need a size I can cut it for you.

I renumbered them after the picture so disregard the red numbers at the bottom. Also the dark spots are stain not soft wood.
#4 same as number 1
#5 1 3/ 16 x 1 1/2 x 5
#6 same as number 5

Finally, I have some blanks that I forgot to measure exactly so if you interested I can measure exactly but I think the dimentions below are correct.

2 afzelia lay blanks I think they are 1 x 1.5 x 5. Hard to get a good picture but this dense asian wood has small quilted ripples through out the wood. 10 bucks each

Rapeljei,

I haven't heard from you. Are the blocks still available? What's your contact info? PayPal address? eMail address? Name?

Thanks, Phil

Phil- I find your post almost comical since you just purchased a box of buckeye from me less than a week ago. Where you sent me a pm, email, and paypal. Anyways, I will pm you with details.

Hey Isaac,

Sorry, I have trouble remembering lots of stuff, monikers included. Heck, sometimes it seems I can't even remember my own name. Of course, that practically makes me want to weep. It's good to see if I forget someone else that they find it comical. Thanks for your understanding.

I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the buckeye, thanks!

The redwood blocks I'd especially like are #1, 2, 3. I see blindhogg got two of the others. I'll take the remaining one.

Thanks so much, Phil
 
Isaac, I'd like to purchase 3 blocks of your finest Jarrah Burl. If you have some that are nicer than blocks #2, #3 and #4 in your first pic, send those instead, but 2,3, and 4 are really nice and would work just fine. ;) :)
 
Danbo- I misidentified the wood and it is really red mallee. If luckily is more valuable so I will honor the posted price. If you are still interested I have many left and will pick out the nicest ones left.

Phil- no worries, I think sawdust and metal fillings can cause brain damage as I forget things all the time also. I sent you a pm.

Isaac, I really don't care what name they give it, that is some really, really nice wood. Payment sent.
