Desert Ironwood Burl Blanks...

[Zims Rack]

I'm looking for Desert Ironwood Burl (DIB) wood to make 4-6 points and dashed rings from. Doesn't have to be highly figured, but does need to be figured.

I need:
1"x1"x10-12".... 2 each
1"x1"x5-6"... 1 each

I figured I would post this while I search the web for suppliers, hoping that someone will be able to save me some time and possibly a little money also.

Thanks,
Zim

I think I have a piece at home but I can't remember the specs. I'll double check tonight and let you know. If it works I'll sell it to you pretty cheap. I don't need it.

I've got a whole bunch of premium stuff 5-7" long, but most of the longer stuff I have isn't as nice. I'll see what I have and take some pics for you tomorrow.

I was mistaken. I have a piece of African Ironwood that is 1.5x1.5x18. I'm not sure if there is a huge difference but if you are interested I can send you a picture. Let me know.

Any pics yet? I'm curious to see what is considered premium!

Sorry it took so long. The only pieces I have longer than 7" are cracked and unstable. I have a local source that sells it for $10/lb, and I can look to see if they have some bigger pieces with nice figure for you.

Here's a pic of the shorter stuff I have. The second pic shows what it looks like with a coat of finish (it's going to be a real seet for a custom fly fishing rod).
