Sale Over, Thanks Everyone - Burl Source - 2 Day Sale Thread

I'd love to take M11 off your hands. I am sending you an email with an atypical request regarding scales.

I will be cutting the block into 2 pieces about 1&3/8 wide, then each of those cut thickness into thirds. Estimated size of 6 pieces 5&1/4 x 1&3/8 x 3/8. Per your email.

Can you go ahead and cut mine into scales also if it's not too late?? I paid for the E7 a few hours ago. If you already got it packaged up then thats fine :)

No problem cutting scales.

Okay, I'm back.

I'll take #E8. I was in yesterday for the 20% promotion as well.

EDIT: Mark, can you take these down into scales for me?

A lot of the wood sold really quick. Quite a few people wanted their blocks cut into scales. These were ones from the same batch of wood that I had already cut into scales so I thought I should add them to the sale just in case.

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

Stabilized 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.
#B4 Sale Price $20 - 5&3/4” x 2” x 1&1/8”
#B6 Sale Price $35 - 7&3/4” x 1&7/8” x 1&1/8”
Stabilized 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.
#SM12 Sale Price $35 - 5&1/2” x 2&3/8” x 1&1/4”
