Cherry Burl OtoP
Cherry Burl selected highest grade pieces. Dried and repeatedly soaked with thin superglue. It is always possible to find some gaps on the inside of any burl, so you might have to glue somewhere on the inside. Very uncommon to see bowl blanks in this burl, you usually cannot get pieces this wide/thick as the burls are quite small (at least in the good areas).

Pernambuco W to Y
Pernambuco is rarely seen for sale. It was last imported about 24 years ago and these were from stock imported around 1995. This is different from the more common wood Chakte Viga which is readily available. These bowl blanks are the only genuine pernambuco bowl blanks I have seen on the market in years. Also, note that some vendors call Chakte Viga as Pernambuco also, but it is not the same species. A Rare opportunity to get this wood, which was sold out most places about 15+ years ago.
