Once I get a chance to let the sun do this wood justice and have the matching stems ill repost the real wood porn ;)

Cant thank @Snappo enough for hooking me up with this amazing block to have turned into a UD. I Also got two stems getting worked on by @Ed's TnT that will be the crown on the king, or cherry on the Sunday, or maybe in this case the bone for the dog. On top of this being a simple, easy and fast process from snappo he also tossed me a free blank stem which I would eventually like to get turned into 1/2" ear rings, either that or send it eds way and get a tool or maybe another stem haha who knows haha. Anyways Snappo hooked me up with the great buckeye burl block and stems.

Yeah. I know they used to use it for aircraft building. Good strength to weight ratio. I generally hate all things aviation, but I think it would be cool to have one. :)

I come across thicker pieces of Sitka for turning on occasion and will try and remember to hold on to some for you for Snappo. I actually had some in the shop until a couple months ago when I used it in a custom piece.

Big exotic wood order just arrived!!! Kiln-dried, cut to order, Afzelia burl, Golden Amboyna burl, Intense Tiger Maple, and Big Leaf Maple burl! I will not be posting pictures until we can confirm that IMGUR image hosting is operable again on the FC forum. The reason for this is that all of the other image hosting sites render poor unsharp images compared to IMGUR that simply do not do adequate justice to the incredible beauty of these woods. There is a lot of time and effort that goes into taking the photos and presenting them here for you on FC, so I want to get it right the first time without having to duplicate my efforts. That said, please see the pic below (Tinypics.com) of the order that just arrived - still to be inventoried, prepped for the photo shoot, and downloaded onto FC for image presentation for all of my FC friends. I appreciate your patience and understanding until this image hosting issue gets resolved. Love to all!!!

I can see them both when I hit reply, been doing it to this thread a bunch bc of this mess. Don't let it get you frustrated @Snappo those imgur img are much better so it's worth the hassle til they get things straightened out. I just hit reply then delete and save after looking for a bit, so the reply box isn't over cluttered. Can't wait to see those beauties in sunlight all prepped up by the master!

Edit- just replied so they disappeared so I hit refresh and viola they appear!

Hi folks! Just a quick touch & go ...it rained all day today, and not once did the sun peak through the clouds. Not exactly a photo-shoot friendly day. Will get to it as soon as weather permits. The wait will be well worth it - GUARANTEED!!!

Here's a tip for viewing the above photos in a better size and viewing resolution - copy/paste to a PM to yourself - pics will appear less magnified (artifact of IMGUR image host) and easier to visually enjoy. Thanks!
