I have 55 squares for handle stock, 16" long. These are old growth with an average of about 20 rpi. The one shown has 15, some have over 30. These are all over 22 years, and more like 24+ years old. They were bought over 9 years ago from the estate of a guitar maker that went out of business about 14 years previously. Price is $4.oo each, $6.00 if you want them turned round. For paypal please add 4% or .16 or .24 cents each.
I am also sorting about 180 squares of birdseye and will post pics and prices later today.
I have sorted the BE.
There are 93 pieces of low to medium figure, 16" long. The medium figure has uneven distribution or does not go through the square evenly or some other problem. These are $7.00 each, with paypal $7.42. This is the same old growth, high growth ring count, 20+ year old wood.
There are 23 pieces of low to medium figure, 13.5+" long. These are $5.00 each or $5.20 with paypal.
There are 35 medium and better figure pieces 16" long. Fairly even eye distribution, more dense and very good irridesence on opposite sides of eyes. These are $10.00 each or $10.40 with paypal.
There are 4 medium figure pieces 13.5+ long. These are $8.00 each or $8.32 with paypal.
All pieces will be picked at random. While not all being the highest figure, they are all very high quality aged maple. For those of you not making all high end cues that want something that will hit well, these are the nuts. While most cuemakers now dowel all their maple cores these are dense enough and aged enough to make that unneccesary.
I will turn any of these round for an additional $2.00 each. I don't have a doweller so I have to do these on the lathe just like you would.
