Sorry Dave.
This block is not for sale. I am keeping it for myself.

No worries here.

[rmbonham]

I am in search of burls that are the rarest of rares. The top of it's class. the one of a kind odd balls . If You have any that fit in to any of these categories that you are looking to part with let me know. Especially trying to get a hold of diamond willow burl and osage orange burl, if you know where I can obtain these let me know.

 

[JohnnyChance]

Osage orange burl I have not seen, but I got the diamond willow burl from Craig Stevens.

I just can't bring myself to use blue wood, but with that said, that is one wild looking block!!

I like blue

This was an experiment I didn't remember doing. I might have just put it in the wrong box. Turned out ok though. The wood Is Oregon Ash.

Thank You, i do know that craig has some, but when i say some I mean he has two left. which means they are going to fetch a large pay day. Was hopping to find another supply. I do love his wood though. I purchase about one a week. I am also looking for oosik. if you know of any good sources give me a shout.

He has everything you can imagine. oosik,mammoth, walrus, whale you name it.

 

[rmbonham]

love miles! He only has one piece of oosik right now and it has had blue filler put in it to stabilize it. Not a big fan of phomineralization. I am happily awaiting a piece of musk ox boss from him.

 

[HHH Knives]

Miles has got a little of everything! Hes a great source for the rare and hard to find handle materials.. But I havnt seen him sell much wood that got me all excited!! :jumpy:

Here on the other hand is some Ironwood burl I am pretty happy about! Im getting ready to use on a set of kitchen knives! Man I love Ironwood Burl! The stuff is amazing looking..

 

[HHH Knives]

I do pride myself on having some of the finest and most beautiful selection of burl woods on the planet in my stash..
Yea, I know that is a BIG BOLD statement, but its the truth. I spend alot of time, countless hours searching the globe (VIA the internet) to be able to make such a statement.

This time, these found me!!! lololol My good friend and mentor pointed these out for me and I SNAGGED em! I only wish the seller had more, I would of been happy to buy 10 sets of this exceptional burl!

YEAH, I may need a intervention.. lol But dont you guys dare call them!! :rasberry:

Now that is just indulgent. I'm sure I'd buy it if I had half the chance though. As far as wood goes, you know you're in a bad place when you start buying the whole d@mn burl and rationalize having more space taken up wood than tools. At my worst there was close to 3,000 lbs of raw burls in my shop. Man, it sure does feel nice to know there is a support group type gathering here. hahaha

 

[Eamon Burke]

I was in Central Market today and saw this. You guys all need this, especially Stefan, Marko and Randy. Think of what it will add to your romantic encounters!

Not sure what "burl wood" smells like, but I am sure that you guys do.

 

[HHH Knives]

Eamon, that is awesome.

OK so I took a few pics today for a customer. and well. I gota share this BURL!!

Stabilized Walnut burl

Stabilized Birch Burl

Stabilized Buckeye burl

Last but not least, Died and stabilized Spalted Birch burl.

Poor guy has to try and choose!! LMOA!! :spin chair:

 

[HHH Knives]

A few more pics.. Yea, Im a Junky! :coffeelots:

Hope it doesn't smell like Black Oak Burl. That smells like a porta-poddie on the last day of the fair.

 

[JohnnyChance]

Damn that dyed spalted birch burl is awesome.

What is the bottom block you are holding there in your grubby mitts?

 

[Mike]

That's pretty bad. And here I thought that Black Locust Burl was bad with its trench-foot smell.

 

[Mike Davis]

I have a bunch of Honey Locust Burl and it doesn't smell too bad. It sure isn't like perfume or anything, but overall, it isn't bad. I have to go out and snap some pics

There both buckeye burl.

 

[DwarvenChef]

Ironwood in just about any cut is my weakness. I'm even growing some ironwood sapplings... ya I'm in trouble... I blame Stephan for selling me that handle (snicker)
