Thread: Figured gutta percha pen blanks

Ben Haven't seen Gutta Percha like that for a while. Great colour and grain. Fit and finish is smooth and flawless as always. I have replied to your market place

Cheers
Darren

Very nice pen Ben, great fit & finish, as well as a clear photo. Great work mate. Never heard of that timber before, wonder where it's from ?.

Looks good to me cheers ~ John

Someone had some for sale at TWWS. Think it was International Timber Collectors (?) or maybe one of the outside guys. If I had seen this thread earlier I would have bought a few at the show.

Yeah, I scored some great large pre-cut pen blanks from one of the outside vendors. They were piled up in a bin, hundreds of them, lots of wonderful species, $1 each, I got some amazing burls and highly figured woods. I was like a kid in a lolly shop

D'oh, i knew i should have went back for a second day, got some nice stuff though it seems i missed the boat on these blanks, time to cut my own.
