Thanks, @Seren! I have managed to establish a good working business relationship with a few exceptional exotic wood suppliers across the globe - they actually travel to the forests in search of only fallen trees so as not to harm viable live trees, wildlife, or environment. This is a strict requirement of mine, and i have rejected many for failing in this regard, despite their exceptional offerings! I spend many many hours each week/month on the phone, internet, and email correspondences specifying my very picky special order requirements, examining photographs, and negotiating the best prices I can so I can pass along these precious pieces at affordable prices to my FC friends (I do not sell anywhere else but here at FC). My labor of love is ONLY for you! I would be unforgivably remiss if I failed to give huge credits to Ed's TnT, Dave & Amanda of Underdog fame, Alan of HI, Andy E-Nano , and ALL of you... my beloved FC friends & family! Where, indeed, would I be without YOU?!!!

Here is what the new "mod sized" blanks can turn out to be.

This gem is obviously from @Snappo's wonderful blanks. This is Spalted Burmese Rosewood Burl that my man Nico from NicoMods made into a killer boxmod.

Just sent off a beautiful redwood burl to be turned into a nano. I had no clue that redwood is subject to major cracking. If this project does not work out, I will be back here looking for the right burl to turn. Thanks for all the beautiful examples @Snappo! Its great to see nature's beauty turned even more beautiful in the form of these great vapes.....

Redwood burl is one of the softer woods, like Buckeye - but out of the dozens of Redwood & Buckeye burl blanks I've sold thus far to have made into log vapes NONE have cracked and remain beautiful and in full service to this day, including my own.;)

Huge thanks to @Snappo @underdog and @underdogette.

One picture just simply doesn't do it justice...

Holy SMOKE!!!!!
My mouth isn't watering; it's GUSHING!
That grain pattern looks like a topo map of Bryce canyon!
Green doesn't adequately describe the color of my envy, my jealousy has passed into the invisible spectrum :whoa:

Being serious for a moment though, this piece surely deserves some measure of hyperbole, no?

Con-grat-u-lations TBTD, and by the way, two pic's clearly doesn't do it justice either :cool:

Holy CRAP!!
I am floored by that piece, really outstanding.
Cancel your Netflix account 'cos getting ripped and gazing at that log for hours is all the entertainment you're going to need!!

Nice show and tell too, especially considering the limited equipment at your disposal, well done!

It's been pretty quiet here @Snappo. Anymore insane drops coming soon?!?! I'm getting the itch again. I think I'm just going to start hoarding your blanks so I'll be interested in all different shapes and sizes. Can you get any workable live edge blanks or slabs even? Let me know my friend. Hope all is well with ya. Take care.
