Pen blanks below..except for the eye candy pics. : ) Bigleaf maple, buckeye, redwood, and occasionally manzanita.
I found a great (and expensive) slab of old growth redwood lace burl. If you never could quite figure what lace really looks like....see below. Will be making some pen blanks, knife scales and gun grips out of this wood. Best lace I've ever had..
Got 'em broke down into some bite sized pieces below.
Bigleaf maple root burl pen blanks below. They'll be from pieces off the big chunk in my pickup.
MP265, $15.00 + $4.00 to ship = $29.00 total. Bigleaf maple burl pen blanks. Ten pieces, see measurements in pics. Misted pics show two sides......really nice figure in them.
MP37, $25.00 + $4.00 to ship = $29.00 total. Bigleaf maple burl pen blanks. Five pieces measure 3/4 x 3/4 x 5" long. Maple will often have some bark inclusions, typical of the species. There may be some in these blanks but generally, they're really solid. I cut out large pockets if I think they will make the blanks unusable for pens. Two pics....one showing the "best" side then turned 90 degrees for one more view. Note a little spalting in some of these.
MP41 $25.00 plus $4.00 to ship = $29.00 total. Bigleaf maple burl pen blanks. Five pieces measure 3/4 x 3/4 x 5" long. Two misted pics. Note a little blue spalting in some of these.

REDWOOD BURL below.
A beautiful lace burl pen made from an old growth redwood blank similar to the below. Made by penmaker Dan Masshardt....thank you Dan for sharing the pic.
Hey guys, below is a pic of a yarding cable guide/bumper that the old time loggers spiked to the bottom of stumps. There was a large pin/shaft that was driven into the stump, the cable rode in the groove which reduced friction when yarding those huge logs. I found this piece within a few miles of the historic logging and mill town of Falk, located in Humboldt County, northern California...home of the pen blanks below this pic.

Dry pics of all sides and one misted. Detail shows better when dry but the misted color is prettier. : ) Two pieces measure 3/4 x 3/ 4 x 5" long. This lot came from the slab at the top of this page. Lace like this is getting very difficult to find. The wood is hard, dry, and has amazing figure. These are exceptionally nice with minimal to no inclusions. That's why I'm selling them in smaller lots.
