Where to find two-tone Amboyna Burl?

**line6man** · #1 03-15-2011, 04:53 PM

I've been searching everywhere over the past few days for someone who has some two-tone (Heartwood and sapwood.) Amboyna Burl pen blanks.

I've come across plenty of heartwood-only blanks, some amazing past Ebay auctions, some places that had very nice two-tone blanks but sold them all, and one website that has them, but looks kind of questionable, and has no pictures of their stock.

I know this forum is full of luthiers and woodworkers, so does anyone know of a place online that has some nice two-tone Amboyna Burl pen blanks? (And preferably in small quantities. I just want a few.)

My dad has turned a few of them and he gets all of his blanks from William Woodright. You can probably find what you are looking for here, the pictures are of the actual pieces you get.

I searched and only saw heartwood pieces.
I'm looking for pieces like this:

I just found an auction on eBay for ten pieces, with two days left on it. There are no bids yet, but a similar auction two months ago sold for $110 with thirty bids. I really don't want to spend this much, and I don't need ten blanks, but if I can't find anything else, I might have to bid-war over it.

This wood is just so sexy it's ridiculous.
