Pen Blanks
Australian Blackwood GG pen blanks
Australian Blackwood (acacia melanoxylon) pen blanks in GG. Gallery grade means there are at least two very figured sides, or sometimes even 3-4 sides that are figured. Close relative of Hawaiian Koa and very hard to tell apart sometimes. But less expensive, and more importantly, still available unlike Koa which is nearly gone in high figured pieces. Sizes are 3/4 x 3/4 x 5-6 inches long. Pen blanks are always sold dried.$8.00

Amboyna Burl 339to342
Amboyna Burl in the difficult to find longer sizes. It takes a very large slab with fewer defects to allow us to cut something like this . Pieces like 339 may be seen at prices over $300 in some cases, but our costs don't force us to charge anything like that. Dried pieces. All came from the same slab, and that slab covers numbers: 300 to 342.

Australian Blackwood 1-6
Wonderful dried and figured pieces that look just like Koa, at a much lower price. These all came from a very large slab. It was part of the outside of a large tree and every bit of it was highly figured. Some Australian blackwood looks more like the photo at the top of this page, but this slab produced pieces that look so much like koa I cannot tell them apart from Koa, and I cannot guarantee that this isn't really koa that was mis-identified as Aussie Blackwood.

Australian Blackwood A-C
Wonderful dried and figured pieces that look just like Koa, at a fraction of the price. These all came from a very large slab. It was part of the outside of a large tree and every bit of it was figured. Some Australian blackwood looks more like the photo at the top of this page, but this slab produced pieces that look so much like koa I cannot tell them apart from Koa, and I cannot guarantee that this isn't really koa that was mis-identified as Aussie Blackwood.

Black & White Ebony 423-429
Really tough to find this wood sold dried, usually it is green. These have been tested to be 12% or less with a moisture meter that adjusts for the species, other meters don't work well. NOTES: some of the pieces have been smeared with super glue clear/black which was then sanded off

Bowl Blanks
Amboyna Burl 337to338
Two bowl blanks in dried Amboyna Burl. 337 doesn't remind me of any pieces I have cut in the past, this area of the slab seems to have a bit of what would normally be called Xylay figure that is found in rare pieces of Afzelia. 338 is a high figure piece with natural edge that will allow a nice bowl just as it is, but will also allow other choices if you cast it with acrylic. Both are heavily discounted. Cut from same slab as pieces 300 to 342.
Piece 338
Amboyna Burl , dried, size: 2 x 4 x 4 inches Grade: GG/GG+ with large corner missing
