Got Burl?

1/24/2012 NEXT SHIPMENT . . . My shipment left Australia 12/17. I heard from my Customs Agent this AM that the shipping company reproted the container arrived on the Left Coast and my shipment is being dispatched FFT to NY and then here to VA with an ETA of 3 FEB. Don't bet on it arriving here on 2/3 though? As I have more precise info I'll post it to my FB page. The majority of my order is posted on my AUSTRALIANBURLS.COM FACEBOOK PAGE and are available for Pre-Sale with no money down. As always, selected items are also posted on my COMING SOON page.

WHOPPER PODS . . . I know many of you have been extremely patient waiting for Whopper Pods and other Pre-SOLD burls on my COMING SOON page. After two seasons of very poor harvests (due to drought) which put a lot of harvesters out of business, my supplier picked up 2.5 tons of Banksia Pods 9 November. They had a few more Whoppers, not many, so, as expected, I will not be able to satisfy all orders on the WAIT LIST. I will be getting roughly 70 Whopper pods (71 kg). But because the quality of the next largest size was very good, I did also purchase 50 kg of LARGE FAT and 25 kg MEDIUM pods.

Lots of pieces and pictures added to the Pool Cue and Turning Squares, Cut Blocks Page 10, Fly Reel Seats and Knife Blocks, Scales and Gun Grips Pages . . . and more to photograph and post.

ATTENTION CLUB MEMBERS!!! . . . my FREE SHIPPING OFFER applies for clubs as well as individuals and businesses.

If you've not been to my AustralianBurls.com Facebook page, please check it out. Be among the first to see what burls and hardwoods I'm cutting as I cut them and post to my AUSTRALIANBURLS.COM FACEBOOK PAGE . . . FB gives me the ability to post iPhone pictures of what I'm cutting as I cut it, includes virtually everything available on this website (and some things that are not posted here) and is easy to update . . . and in the event I have website problems, I will continue to post to my FB site.

Looking for a bargain box of CUTOFFS for pen blanks or small/miniature hollow forms/ornaments? I have several pre-packed cubic foot boxes posted (and more to pack/photograph/post) including multiple photos of the actual cutoffs in the boxes

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.

HOW TO ORDER . . . Contact me by email jsyvertsen@cox.net or by phone at 757.816.5622 to purchase (or setup a time to visit). VISA/Mastercard and Discover gladly accepted. You may also pay via bank transfer or by PayPal (you do NOT need to be a PayPal member). Of course, I'll also accept cash, or a check.
