ooooh Mike I really like that stuff. The redwood is really nice looking and the piece below it with the contrasting corners might be my favorite. :drool: I'll have to check out It's a burl

I have bought some redwood burl and buckeye burl from It's a Burl. Both pieces were really nice.

Mark is a top notch guy to deal with and his wood is amazing also! Will probably do all of my business with him from now on.

I just got back from the site, and I betcha he'll get some business from me at some point. I'm gonna pretend I'm mad at you guys now though :razz:

Next time you talk to him you should tell him to stop by the forum and say hello.

I think I have seen his woods on bladeforum - or on the penturners' forum? Good stuff. The way things are going here, maybe I just should take pictures of my wood pieces, you guys seem easily excitable

their stabilized wood is very nice. Chuck send his wood to WSSI. unlike Craig Steven, Chuck always polished his block/scales that might give you a better idea about the finishing of the wood.

 

[JohnnyChance]

Damn that looks awesome! I want a block!

If you wet Craig's blocks when you get them, they give you a better idea of what they look like finished. He wets them for the photos.

 

[riverie]

yes i agree with that, i also wet the wood from Craig just to see the detail of the wood. i just think it's worth to mention that AKS went a step further even though in the end you will sand and polish the wood again. Btw, i also lost the bid on the diamond willow burl. i noticed you got that nice dyed green block, i saw and it caught my attention too. this is the block that i got from him, i didn't wet it though http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff413/Rhyoo/P1010478.jpg

 

[JohnnyChance]

Nice pickup! His blue dyed stuff is nice looking.

 

[Mike Davis]

I would love to get some of Craig's crazy dyed stuff. Maybe i will just some of my stuff our for some crazy dyeing. It is looking like i will get around 75-100 good blocks out of this haul. Maple tree goes in next, and that is covered also I think some dyed stuff is in the future

Hey Mike,
That locust burl is no good. :shocked3:
I am willing to help you out a bit.
I will send you some prepaid shipping labels and you can send it out this way. That way you won't have to pay dump fees or anything.

[SpikeC]

[Mike Davis]
