Wanted: Expressions of interest in Rare Pen Blank woods
Wanted - Expressions of interest in Rare Pen Blank woods
refer to thread & posts in https://www.woodworkforums.com/f69/pen-blanks-rare-colourful-figured-woods-194180
Extract .... "Many are acacias (dryland mostly) figured ironwood wattle, ringed northern boree, ringed gidgee, purple wood wattles (3, waddywood, purple gidgee, and a dead finish) to name a few. Figured red lancewood, conkerberry, orange boxwood, black oak, boonry, greenheart, figured grey mangrove, birdseye and fiddleback jarrah, wandoo and other eucalypts (pale & dark), a black coolabah, black ironbox ... others include ringed / fiddleback coolabah, figured emu apple, yapaunyah burl (many other burls), figured and birdseye Huon pine, ancient (black) eucalypts ('000s years old). Many figured sheoaks & bullokes . figured rosewoods, ivorywood, bonewood, canarywood, goldywood " ... Variety variety
Prices range from $1 to $3 each mostly, but some very unusual and rare ones may be $5-$10 EACH eg spotted ebony, pink ivory. No apologies for high prices for VERY special pieces.
Photos? Maybe later or best sent to serious inquirers who make serious inquiries by email. I am unsure if and how to sell here so this is just to measure interest. I havent sold in packs or same species like advertised, usually mixed species.
If you are interested and a serious maker of the best pens in wood, please PM with your specific questions or requirements. I will be as helpful as I can within reason (time available.)
Cheers Euge

I don't turn pens, but I turn tool handles pretty frequently, i.e. every time I buy a handled tool.
If you have blanks that are 35mm squared x 150-180mm long I am interested. Typical pen sized blanks don't work but if you have any fat ones around that size then I'm interested!
Cheers,
Luke

Hi Luke
Yes I have many woods in this larger size / category a number of sheaoks, acacias and many eucalypts that I can think of. Rarer ones like purple gidgee boree are pricier. There are also ironwoods (deserts and red), Let me know your precise likes/ needs (eg colour, density, strength etc) with such woods and I will send you a list of prices.

Rare Woods
Why? Coz Im new to this forum, navigating & doing things by this forums ways and unfamilar with posting pics ... but I am familar with wood, what I sell and can describe it when individuals make inquiries. I am a wood technologist and rare wood supplier not a wood worker, that limits my role here.
A SPECIES would be too big so I have not compiled it yet. Just assume I have most woods you have heard of. Ask me if I have this or that and I'll tell you.
But Dude, having said all that, I have replied to your PM as I have to ALL others who have inquired. I prefer to deal with individual inquiries by email, in my way and will send pics and have shared pics with those members. Its my way or retaining control of a small business and even the level of interest.

No Pictures ???
A picture is worth a thousand words.
No pictures = No interest.
That's my choice.

Hey Euge,
I might just be sticking my neck out a bit here, as I am not an administrator/mod or whatever, but to me you are out of order. This forum has rules for the marketplace and you seem to me to be in breach of most of them.
As I understand it we post specific items for sale and either state a price or make it an auction. To me it appears that you are treating the forum marketplace as your own when it is not.
If you want to use it to advertise a business then contact the site owner (you know - the man who pays for all this to happen) and ask if you can be a sponsor, thereby getting sponsors rights.
Either that or go and get your own website where you determine the content and pay for it as well.
If you want to advertise lots for sale in the auction or at a set price thats fine, I guess, subject to the mods and admins, but that is not what you are doing.
Mods feel free to delete this post if you feel that I am out of order and Euge is operating within the rules.
Cheers
