You can pick and choose what blanks you want too...over 300 of 'em
Species are the usual suspects...
Australian Blackwood
Coachwood
Qld Maple
Hairy Oak
Beefwood
Red Cedar
White Cedar
Marblewood
New Guinea Rosewood
Mango
Forest Red Gum
Gutta Percha
Red Lancewood
and more
Only want a dozen pens turned,if someone can help out,much appreciated...MMMapleman

Unfortunately,my spare days before Christmas are very limited, otherwise I would have loved to help you out Chris.
Hopefully someone with the time on their hands will be able to take you up on it.Brad.

Chris
I would be happy to help you out if you reckon there is enough time seeing as I am in Victoria.
Let me know if you want to try it.

Happy to jump in too to help you out Chris if required
Edit - your 'usual suspects' are anything but usual.....I've been the lucky recipient of your timber in the past - and if this is the private stash it will make some amazing presents"All the gear and no idea"

Cheers DonP and Gabriel for your responses
Say 6 pens each thereabouts?
Let me know if you need some $ for the kits folks
Heaps of stunning blanks...just let me know how many you would like and what species you prefer
Most around 150mm long...rest at 125mm
And of course nasty figure
P.M me your thoughts and mailing addresses too...MMMapleman

Hi Ironwood.
Wish it was me with that stash of beautiful wood destined (at least some) for pens. I have my own private stash of course, but sadly I am not a pen turner and don't plan to be one. But I do appreciate the skill and finished results as Chris will with his woods, which are always exceptional, I am sure Don & Gab will do a great job, both being Victorians of course,
Euge
PS: Beautiful selection of woods Chris!!
