New Stuff Coming - Finally

It's been a while since I've added some new stock to the store. Here's a shot of about 50 pieces that came back from K&G a while ago, but with the weather we've been having in the northeast I haven't been able to get up to my house to clean these up. I'm hoping to do so this weekend and have them in the store next week. The species include Chechen Burl, Amboyna (some outstanding blanks), Koa, Redwood Lace, Phillipine Ebony (a new one for me) some Quilted Maple, Maple Burl and finally the Black Nargusta Burl that I bought way too long ago.

 

Looking forward to the new stuff---amboyna especially.

 

Spent the day sanding all those pieces. For those of you who are interested, when blocks come back from being stabilized they're a mess. So I start with a 30 grit paper which is the lowest I've found that doesn't clog up. After that I go to 80 then 150 and finally 220 grit. So it takes a while to get through 50 pieces. Now they get cleaned and finished with my secret, if I tell you I'll have to kill you, recipe (lol). That should all be done tomorrow so I'll start photographing Monday and adding to my site around Tuesday. Of course I'll let you all know when that's actually going to happen. Enjoy the rest of your weekends.

 

This makes me very happy. Can't wait to see what you got!!

 

Here's a good sampling of what I finished and what will be going into the store tomorrow and Wednesday.
Top row is Curly Koa, next two are Phillipine Ebony followed by some amazine Amboyna, then two rows of exhibition quality Black Nargusta Burl, a row of Redwood Lace, a row of Chechen Burl and finally a row of Quilted Maple. The Maple is really hard to photograph as the chatoyance isn't really picked up, but these pieces glimmer. There are more pieces than shown here, but I wanted to keep it somewhat symmetrical.

 

Excuse me while I find more things to rehandle...
