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.
MP34 $15.00 $4.00 to ship = $19.00 total. Bigleaf maple burl pen blanks. Six pieces measure 3/4 x 3/4 x 5" long. Note these have some problems/opportunities but all could be worked with..depends on you. : ) Two pics....one showing the "best" side then turned 90 degrees for one more view.
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.

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.
