The sale is over now. Thank you to everyone who took part.

I have added more pieces for the sale on page 4 of this thread.

If you would like to go directly to photos of the pieces still available, scroll down to post #52 on page 3 of this thread.
I took new photos of the remaining pieces as of 12:00 2/24.

All of the blocks in this sale thread are listed at reduced prices. The sale will be in effect until 5pm PST, Friday 2/25/2011. These blocks are part of a large batch I just received from being stabilized. They were professionally stabilized by K&G (Knife and Gun Finishing Supplies in Arizona) so you know they were stabilized correctly to give them the best possible durability.

When you see blocks that you want to get just post “I’ll take #s ….” and I will mark them sold for you. In the event more than one person asks for the same block it will go to the first post based on the time stamp of the post. If you see more blocks you want after making a post do not go back and edit your post or it may get overlooked. Just make a new post for the additional blocks.

Shipping is free within the US. International Shipping is $10 or Free if you spend over $100.

If you need your blocks cut into scales I can do that for you at no additional charge. I usually cut the scales to about 3/8” thick unless you request other dimensions. Just say you want your block cut into scales in your post if you want them cut.

All of these pieces come with a No Questions Asked, Money Back Guarantee.
My address to make payment using Paypal is itsaburl@hotmail.com. Be sure to tell your forum user name and the block numbers in the notes section so I will know what the payment is for.

Heirloom Lace Redwood Burl. This redwood came from the estate of a fine woodworker. It was passed down as an inheritance to the grandson who wanted money more than the wood. This is really good quality burl.

=====================================

Spalted Curly Maple. In my opinion one of the best deals in this sale. Cool spalted colors and real good curly figure that is difficult to see very well in the photos. Will stand out much more when you fine sand and finish these blocks.

Spalted Maple Burl. The spalting gives these pieces dramatic contrasting colors along with burl figure from edge to edge. With spalted burl there may be some small voids that could require a minor fill if they do not trim away when you are shaping your handle.

California Buckeye Burl. These pieces are not recommended for less experienced knife makers. Buckeye burl will have bark pockets and open eyes that will require fills unless used on rustic projects where you want them left open. Some makers will fill the voids with a mixture of epoxy and dark wood sawdust. It is difficult to see in the photos so plan about ½ of the eyes you see in the photos to be open creating small voids.
