    This offering is for my better (premium) woods. These are mostly Australian native species. However, I can offer pretty exotics from the Americas & Africa if so desired for same price. (Have some very beautiful ones from Texas / Mexico).

    These feature Colour & Figure. Some have contrasting sapwood, some as burl & few are stabilised but all selected for Quality pens. Sizes 18-20+ mm x 125 -140 mm. Some bigger or longer. Few may benefit from filing or stabilisation with resins.

    Bangalay - ancient, grey-black, dated at 2000 yrs old
    Black Palm - almost black, in rods, some stabilised
    Brown Palm - brown, in rods

    Mangrove - grey, interesting figure, some herring-bone
    Myrtles (inland & Tas & spalted, some with corduroy like figure),

    Sheoak, Flame/ Hairy Oak - bold brown oak-like ray figure
    Tea Tree - tones of pink, grey blue & brown
    Tulipwood- spalted, cream & small brown heart, black streaks in some
    Tulip wood (as above) - heartwood, tones of brown, ‘like tortoise shell’
    Yarran (fiddleback) dark brown acacia, some f/b

    To start, I will have 6 lots - each with 20 blanks (+ any extras)
    Most packs will be different ie mixed. (I prefer no pre-selections in this offer but I may be swayed.)
    20 blanks for $5 ea per pack. Total $115 delivered (Australia)

    Or, if you want some conkerberry (examples as shown below) that’s an extra $15/ piece ie a total $130 delivered.
    PM me for payment details. Some have already expressed their interest,

    Pictures (to follow) will show examples, but in poor light in workshop. Colours & figure are more dramatic.

    Hi Ivor,

    I've replied to your PM. Note that wattles are Acacia species (1000+ species in Australia) of which there is a handful (4 from desert areas) with dense hard purple woods. Of these 2 are shrubs and rare, 2 are from outback trees and are (almost) threatened. Hence availability is VERY limited now I believe. I'm willing to provide small quantities of selected species although this is outside the offer made here for MIXED packs that I prefer to offer.

    If members have special wants / needs please contact me. In most cases I will be able to help you even if in a limited way.
    The list above may be helpful

    Cheers, Euge

    Highly recommended woods here for special pens.
    Some of the Texan/Mexican woods rival our desert species for beauty, and that conkerberry is great when finished!
    (and Euge is great to deal with)
    If my supply was not overflowing already I'd be on this like a seagull on a bit of bacon wrapped around a chip......

    Mature one, no problems at all. I try to be flexible and helpful with what I can provide.
    Perhaps you wanted one specie? If so, I may be able to help in future.

    Cheers, Euge

    Default Correction

    I can see I've made an error in the numbers of blanks offered per pack.
    Near the top of my first post I said "10 blanks" per pack.." and later I said 20 per pack.
    It is in fact 20 per pack . I can't correct it now but please note I mean

    ".....
    20 blanks will be selected from the following 40+ woods. ..."

    My sincere APOLOGIES to all who were mislead or confused.

    Eugene

    Hi Ivor,

    I've replied to you your PM & can confirm that I have received payment. Also your address details, BUT I need you FULL NAME (and preferably mobile or contact number) for delivery. These are best sent by email or PM to protect your privacy. Your wood is ready and I will send by EXPRESS POST when I have these details. You may be away so I will wait.
