Thread: Vic: Bulk Blackwood buy?

Goodo Russell.

I'll post what's available by way of spindle blanks and smaller bowl blanks on Monday with pricing.

Demand is outstripping supply, and waste is greater than expected, so they are all going to have to be rationed I'm afraid. I will do my best to fulfill the initial bowl blank requests but suspect that there will be 3-4 fewer than estimated.

Just to say again, I'm selling these at cost as a service to the forum turners so apologies in advance if you're disappointed at not getting all you want.

Ern, at $120 a cube, I'll take 5 cubes please. Cheap firewood if nothing else. But I bet there's some decent stuff there in the 4 by 4s.

I'll be a little late tomorrow I suspect, so please save some time for the bead turning.

regards Jeff

All understood Ern! and thanks for you efforts. I bet the a/c has been working o/t.

Thanks Russell ... yep, 'fraid I've been drawing off the grid an irresponsible number of Kilowatts {

Jeff, 'bead on a bowl' session will be about 11.30 am.

Hi all,

Sorry about the delay with blocking down the blackwood.

There have been completely unwarranted intrusions of work, family and health on my time - damn irritatin'

Anyway, I resumed cutting this morning and then the bandy gave up; lower blade guide bearings seized.

I'll finish the job over the weekend.

There will be fewer bowl blanks than expected, and some smaller than expected, and a bunch of spindle blanks. I'll PM each of you who put your hand up letting you know what I can do by way of bowl blanks, and also list spindle blanks and prices here.

Thanks for your patience.

Ern

Thanks for all the work you are putting in I for one realy appreciate what you are doing
Regards
Bowl Basher

Thanks for all your work Ern. My bit looks good. I think I nearly know what to do with it. Damn nerve wracking to cut into a bit of wood worth actual money.
