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.

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.
