CUTOFFS

As of 20 April 2011, I have four (5) one cubic foot boxes of mostly Australian Burl cutoffs and one box each of Black Ash Burl and Honduras Rosewood Burl with plenty of sample picture. Prices range from $180 to $195.  They're full of great material and priced at 40-50% list price of caps.

Among my favorite things to do in woodturning is making something from scrap. There's something inherently fascinating about the challenge of seeing how small a piece I can make and what I can achieve with scrap wood that might otherwise be discarded.  So last year I started selling these boxes full of great usable material for pen blanks, small turnings, ornaments, even small hollow forms . . . and they're priced at current weight well below (about 40% or more) the current weight cost of whole burls.   

Pieces I'm making from cutoffs . . . Left is Russian Olive Burl and right is a small gummy Vasticola burl I recently cut illustrating how I try to maximize use of the material. I should be able to get at least 7 pieces from this burl.

This is about the actual size, perhaps a bit larger, of the piece above left on the glue block
