Some time ago I made a trade with Cory Norgart. At the time I initiated the swap I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had recently come into a large amount of Water Oak Burl and he posted a gloat on a large piece of Black Ash Burl so I figured we could swap flat rates. Well come to find out Cory runs Up North Burls and this is what he does. Being a rank armature I stressed that I wanted him to get my box in and send what he felt was fair trade as his burl is super clean. Well this is what I got.
2 Nice Box Eder Burl Blanks
2 4sq Black Ash Burl (BAB) chunks
1 BAB Peppermill blank
several 2sq BAB pieces some Died all Stabilized
and about 17 7/8x5 BAB Pen Blanks Stabilized, already turned a couple
This is by far some of the finest wood I have ever seen and definitely the nicest I have turned to date.
I was showing off some pens of various woods the other day and got several multiple pen orders and EVERYONE wanted the Black Ash Burl so I had to shop for it, because they can’t have my stash. I ended up back at Cory because I wanted him to have my business because of his generosity and he gave best price over everyone else. Just a top notch guy.
I tell you this stuff is so nice it lives in my closet to make sure this heat does not mess with it.
Thanks Cory!!!
