I really did not want to sell these but I need to raise some money quickly to pay for engraving I am having done on a knife.
The unsold blocks went back into my personal stash. Thanks everyone.

Each one of these are pieces that I had set aside for myself. I do that with only about 1 out of a couple hundred blocks that I cut. This is some of the wood I liked better than any of the others. Many of these could be classified as exhibition grade. I just called them my favorite pieces.

These are all natural wood that has not been stabilized. The photos show both sides of the pieces wiped with a damp cloth so you can see exactly what you are getting.

When you see ones you want, just say "I'll take #s ...." and I will mark them sold for you.

US shipping is $2.50 each piece. Free shipping in the US for purchases over $100. These may not be combined with any volume discounts from other threads. These have to be done separately to pay for the engraving on the meteorite knife project.

Hey look, he's posting over in Knifedogs. You guys go ahead. I'll keep an eye out for him here. ;)
 
Those first 2 posts were just to drum up a huge interest you realize. I know how the sales game works. FYI Mark you don't need to go that route, once you start posting it's like walking into a methadone clinic and saying "I got some heroin here cheap"
