Have you been soaking them in wood?
WorthingtonJet
SOAK LOGS IN WOOD!

That'd make a badass coffee table/dinner table, depending how big.

It kills me that one of them is slightly shorter than the rest.

You could build a fire.

Just think of it alive and healthy.
donotforget1
At least one of the blanks is spalted, i.e. rotted. If it was spalting before the tree was cut, it was dying. Some other blanks are (1/2)

from burls, which are tumors caused by bugs and/or disease. (2/2) some of these trees might not have been healthy when they were alive!
MarkThompson7768
What kind of wood are those?
MisterMeSeeksDeath
Now I got wood, great... Thanks.
dogneely
What are you planning on using them for? They would make beautiful gun stocks.

2/2 entertainment cabinet this weekend but with much cheaper products as they will stay with the house. Not spending big $ to leave behind.
NuclearChimichangas
I would like to buy one @Op!
Bearcat1522
Which one? I've got a couple I'm saving so not all available.
LadyVin
I would be super interested in one for my husband. In the first picture, is the one on the far left or fourth from the left available? 1/2
LadyVin
Also, how much would you charge? He loves fountains pens and this would be an awesome Christmas present. Your work is amazing, by the way.

Burl sammich, smoked burl, beer battered burl, burl steak
LeahShine88
Potentially stupid question: what is burl?
halosk8ingking
Where the tree grows all fucky and makes a huge lump on the side of the tree, the wood grain goes everywhere and is super hard to process
Bearcat1522
It's a defense mechanism for the tree
LeahShine88
Thank you kindly!

I need to get me some blanks like these

Can you work with mango wood? I thought it was ultra poisonous.
Thebaracuda
Poisonous is the least of your worries. the Yew tree's timber when worked can cause cardiac arrest.
Bearcat1522
Yeah definitely. Not sure where you heard that but it's not true. Just wear proper lung protection.
eggmuffin
So is it toxic or not?
Bearcat1522
It's not healthy to breathe in the dust. You can touch it and be fine.
jusagirl
not gonna help if you make a pipe and are injecting the marijuanas.
yay4me
Alton Brown, actually. It may be just burning it, though.
Bearcat1522
Ahh gotcha. Yeah that may be it. Or maybe I'm just immune.
