Got Burl?
5/9/2012 I'm starting to assemble my next shipment. It will not be quite as large as the FEB shipment but what I do select, I can assure you will be a variety of top quality burls and hardwoods, as always. If you have specific requests, please let me know. I'll post pictures of burls as I commit to buy, making them available for pre-sale HERE. My next commitment is not until mid-September for the Virginia Woodturning Symposium. In the interim, I'll be cutting some big burls and smaller ones to move some inventory and make room for the next shipment.
4/4/2012 I've posted a dozen new Dark Eye York Gum Burl Pool Cue Blanks on the POOL CUE BLANKS AND TURNING SQUARES PAGE. There are newly cut burl blocks posted on CUT BLOCKS PAGE 10 (Miscellaneous Burl Blocks). Posted more York Gum Burl, Jarrah Burl, Red Box Burl and Bimblebox Burl Cut Blocks to the Cut Blocks Pages 2, 5 and 10. Also posted more great York Gum Burl Cue Blanks and Turning Squares to the POOL CUE BLANKS AND TURNING SQUARES PAGE.

A note about how to best use this site . . . the font I use is Bradley Hand ITC . . . if it appears like Times New Roman on your computer, you likely don't have the font installed (try installing). . . my laptop is a widescreen, so my page size is 1280 x 800 . . . the front and reverse sides of burl caps should appear side by side . . . if not, I recommend changing your screen resolution to best view this site.
