Moved to our webstore at burlsales.com. If you want to buy anything from our webstore you can have a 15% discount as a Blade Forums member. When you check out there is a discount coupon field, in that field enter BFD and it will automatically apply a 15% discount to your purchase.

My boss has been getting after me to stock up our webstore with blocks and scales but I wanted to give the forum members first chance on these blocks. Everything has been stabilized except the 2 redwood blocks. They are the super hard redwood. I thought all of these had been sold but I found these two. There are some small voids in the redwood that may need to be filled if they don't trim away when you shape your handle.

These are all blocks that I thought were extra good looking. They have been stabilized with Resinol 90C. The buckeye has been done using a new process that makes it harder and heavier than before. Photos show the wood dampened so you can get an idea how it will look when you finish your handle. I am so sure you will love these blocks that they come with a "No questions asked, money back guarantee"

Just post the block numbers that you want in this thread. That way nobody will be able to buy it out from under you. Free Shipping in the US

If you see something in this thread you like but it gets sold before you have a chance, check out our website. Right now there are about 200 blocks and scales in our webstore. Forum members can have a 15% discount off the prices of the pieces in our webstore. Just enter BFD in the discount coupon field when you check out. Any questions? Send me a PM.

Any pieces in this thread that are unsold on Sunday night will be moved to our webstore. Boss's orders.

You have probably guessed by now.....but if not, "My Boss found my stash!"
I can't help but set aside pieces I really like. I made the mistake of having some of these pieces sitting out in plain sight next to my desk. He told me to quit stashing the ones I like unless it was something I was going to use right away. Don't get me wrong, I have a great boss. He lets me do the knife handle wood on the side as long as I get my other work done. If I need more wood or equipment I usually only have to ask. It doesn't get much better than that.

I am hoping my stash pieces will all find good homes and maybe you'll send photos of what you do with these.

Thanks, Mark
