your the bomb HHH..8)

So, I've been looking at your 'for sale' posts. Seems a bit disorganized.
For example, how does a buyer know which blank they will receive? It's tough to specify a particular piece out an unsorted pile.
You also specify "flat rate shipping fee included". Anywhere in the world, CONUS only? Any Priority Mail option?
I'm also assuming (due to lack of information) that all of your pieces are either natural or dyed only, i.e not stabilized?
Do you offer the option of cutting blocks into scales if requested?
Things you may wish to clarify.

Hi ecchef

sorry about the not cataloged wood as I wanted to get some photos out and your correct some should be marked. I usually sell larger lots or Billets , so it may take me some time to get cataloged, but im usually around am or pm for questions. As for the shipping, yes its in usa only unless customer requests different.I have found after a few hundred sales elsewhere that a usps box and paypal cover 90% of my customers from knives to guns. I will put some kind of markings on pieces from now on to help.

The ebony is from a billet and all blocks are identical and the group of 4 dyed blocks the same although 2 are smaller. The other pieces are sold as one,and not by the piece unless specified as that helps keep the price down.As for the wood they all specify dyed and stabilized or not. hope this helps .. thanks for your input.

Scales can be cut 3/8 at the thinnest as I like all of my fingers.
The blocks would be cut on a table saw and not sanded.. So there could be a little waste depending on depth of block.8)

Beautiful wood!!...and amazing sculpture!! I can't send or receive PM's on this site, but I'm interested into looking at more of your product. Do you have an email or other point of contact?

Thanks!

Welcome Mike. I've liked what I've seen so far. Who does your stabilization?

Hi Dave

Is that a wire hair? We had one and loved her but she hated water.. Just upland..

AS FOR wood stabilization I've tried them all and use wood sure and K n g, and like them both. Both have pluses and minuses.. Wood sure is a branch of torzo products and is a very large biz and stabilize large volumes of wood panelling for corporate use. Train loads.. Try them out there a little more affordable.

He's a Drahthaar, a German registered Wirehair. I hunt it all but especially ducks so wanted a pointing dog with web feet. He loves it. Hope to get out your way one day and chase some Chukkar before I'm too old and fat.

I asked about stabilization because I like to pick out a block for a rehandle and many of the handle makers will only accept blocks stabilized by K&G. Thanks.

that's awesome.. Sounds like a great dog.

Hello again...

I'm trying to get ahold of you to buy some wood my friend, lol. If you're not interested, please let me know and I'll stop pestering you with it. If you would like to talk, please give me a way to contact you and we'll go from there.

Thanks!
