This was posted to me. Contrary to popular belief I don't have a clue.Perhaps some one here can help.
Hi ,
I have a wood identification question for you. I purchased some pen blanks
from two different suppliers and one of them has mislabeled their wood. I
ordered Amboyna burl and Goldfield burl. Since the Goldfield is from your
area I thought you would know. One lot of wood is caramel colored with
lots of eyes in it and is very soft and spongy. The other wood is very
hard and a fairly dark redish brown. The Amboyna I ordered from Craft
Supplies looks like the Goldfield I ordered from Penn State. I would
appreciate any help you could give me.
Thanks,
Shawn Swafford
