Found This ---wood Glaot

[Gary Max]

I was getting some blanks together for some friends yesterday and ran across this slab of Rosewood Eye Burl. It had been put back because I just can't bring myself to cut it up. The slab would yeild about 6 truley awesome blanks. Maybe I will break down and resaw it after I get some good pen kits ordered.

OMG that is an awesome find!

Why can't I find anything like that?

 

[cnirenberg]

That is some beautiful wood.

 

[Gofer]

Incredible, I can see why you don't want to cut it up

I was beginning to think I had been over exposed to saw dust. I could just sit that on my desk like it is and be happy.

 

[nava1uni]

It is certainly beautiful. I think I might also not cut it up. I have some wood that I have trouble doing anything with because it is so beautiful. Isn't wood grand?

 

[rpearson]

Truly amazing piece of wood. One of those you don't want to waist even a splinter.

 

[Manny]

Save me a few blanks when you do......


Because eventually you will

[Gary Max]

Manny ---I thought you had enough of this already??????????

 

[Manny]

I can never have too much of that Gary.

It's just a matter of how much I can afford.

Honestly that slab is awesome looking.

No rush no worries.

Just save me a few pieces when you process it.

You're a wood tease.

 

[Manny]

That is some gorgeous stuff Gary. Must of been hiding with the dust collector.

 

[Chief Hill]

Nobody thinks of me with this kind of wood. You still have my address Gary?

 

[Gary Max]

Ernie you have no ideal how true that is. When I was hunting for the dust collector you bought I found a couple boxs that where hiding. I did not know I had all those whiskey barrel blanks either. It was like Christmas finding my stuff----gee I must be getting old.

 

[mrcook4570]

That would make awesome knife scales and a few pen blanks.

 

[Gary Max]

Nobody thinks of me with this kind of wood. You still have my address Gary?

Do you still have my paypal info------:biggrin:

 

[jimofsanston]

isn't grand to be senile?

 

[NewLondon88]

isn't grand to be senile?

Well, I certainly wouldn't have any idea.

I remember this one time ..
no wait.. that wasn't me.
What were we talking about again?

 

[Gary Max]

I am still trying to figure out his point??????????????

 

[RAdams]

You really do have too much wood when something like this can manage to hide.


P.S. You people are NUTS! I would cut that bad boy up in a minute! To me, it looks nice, but would look SO much better wrapped around a tube!

 

[Gary Max]

Ahh Grasshopper-------I have more so why kill the goose????????

 

[thewishman]

I was beginning to think I had been over exposed to saw dust. I could just sit that on my desk like it is and be happy.

I agree! That is a beautiful piece of wood, just as it is.

[Gary Max]

I can do that Robert----you can Paypal the deposite to me at the usual address.

 

[jimofsanston]

The point Gary is there are always going to be suprises.

Exactly what I was thinking. Would make a great eye catching display at your shows Gary. :wink:

 

[Gary Max]

You display a slab of wood like that at shows and you have to beat the woodworks off with a stick-----they aren't the folks who buy the pens.
Now I could take it to the show and sell it as a Christmas Gift--make up a sign-- "The Perfect Gift for the Woodworker in your Life"--heck we are going to offer free gift wrapping the rest of the month at shows anyway.

Leave it as a desk decoration. I would spend hours just looking at it!
