ALL OF THIS BATCH IS SOLD - THANK YOU!

I bought a burl when I went to the coast last weekend from an old time redwood dealer who is a friend of my boss. He discouraged me from getting the burl saying "that piece is too hard. it dulled my saw when I tried to cut it". It felt like I was lifting a rock, not a piece of wood. I had to use a brand new blade on the bandsaw to cut this stuff. It reminded me of the last time I was cutting Ironwood.
I didn't get many blocks but I picked out the best ones for the forum. This wood is not stabilized as it is already super hard. There may be a couple tiny hairline checks or voids that could require a little epoxy. This wood was stored in a garage for 20+ years before the guy I purchased it from got it. This is old stock burl that I only find once every year or so. This is some of the really good stuff. I misted the blocks with water so you can get an idea how it will finish.

I'll take R4 if available. PM me the Paypal final total and the funds will be sent right away.
 
Thanks, PM sent with email for paypal payment. Shipping is free and I will eat the paypal fees. I think you will really like your choice.
 
I really shouldn't... someone stop me...
too late.
I'll take R5 if it's still available (this stuff is just too special to pass up).
 
Sorry, I was away from the computer for a while. #s R1 & R5 are already sold to JT Knives. I have a few more blocks of this I will list.
 
To Dan and anyone else who did not get the block you wanted. GOOD NEWS.
I have a few more blocks that I was going to stash for myself that I will list this afternoon. After that I am going to have to see what I can do to find more of this stuff.
