Stabilized Blocks of Exceptional Maple Burl

[Burl Source]

This thread is closed now. I am packing up and heading for the show in California. Thanks, Mark

My boss and I agreed that since you forum members have been so good to me that you should get first shot at the best blocks I am taking to the knife show next weekend.

These blocks have been stabilized using a vacuum pressure system with Resinol 90c that has been heat treated for maximum durability. They are all hard, heavy blocks.

All these blocks were cut from the same maple burl that had spalted without much color change. Every inch of these are solid burl. Each block is at least 5&3/8 inches long x 1&3/4 inches wide and 1 to 1&1/8 inches thick. They have only been sanded to 120 grit so plan on them looking a lot better when you fine sand and finish them.

They are all priced the same at $30 each or 4 for $100. US shipping is $5 for up to 2 blocks, free when you get 4 or more. Outside US shipping is $13 for 2 blocks. Paypal is the easiest way to pay. Our address for paypal is itsaburl@hotmail.com.

When you pick the ones you want, just post "I'll take #s ......" in this thread and I will mark them sold for you.

To ship the 4 blocks will cost $26 US, or a medium flat rate box will hold about 20 blocks for $40 US. I am posting some stabilized buckeye burl and spalted maple burl today if you want to put together a box of good stuff.

Last chance on these blocks. Tuesday the 16th I have to get everything packed to leave for the knife show in Pasadena. I will be gone for about a week. Everything that is paid for this evening will be shipped before I leave.

This is not the kind of wood you buy when you need it.
