Both boxes have been sold and paid for...thanks for looking.

Offered here are two USPS Medium Flat Rate boxes full of my last two year's worth cutoffs...way to good to throw away. They would be great for glue-ups into larger turning blocks, inlays or decoration, pen blanks or pendant/brooch turnings. These make the 4th and 5th boxes I've offered through the AAW forum in the past 6 years. And, they always go quickly, so act fast.

Send me an email or a Private Message through this forum to reserve your box, first come, first served, and just one box per person, please. After the first two people have contacted me, I'll send a PayPal invoice to you for online payment of the $20...to cover my shipping costs within the USA, and PP credit card fees.

About 50-70% of these boxes are made up of exotic woods from Africa, Australia, South America, Mexico and Europe: Bocote, Blackwood, Red Ironbark, Eucalyptus, Sheoak, Purpleheart, Olivewood, Mahogany, Afzelia burl, Camphor burl, Canarywood, Ivorywood, Cocobolo, English Walnut, Mango, Padauk, Redheart, Zicicote, Sipo, Bloodwood and Brazilwood. Domestic woods include Madrone, Yew, Maple, Walnut, Mesquite, Osage Orange and Spectraply.

The first box is about 90% end-grain cutoffs measuring about 2.2-2.5" across and 1/4" to 1/2" thick. The other 10% or so are sidegrain cutoffs measuring 2-8" long, 2"-4" wide and 1/4" to 1/2" thick.

The 2nd box is mostly sidegrain cutoffs, measuring between 2-8" long, 1-4" wide and 1/4" to 2" thick. Several of these pieces should be thick enough to yield several dozen pen blanks.
