This stunning, kiln dried Buckeye burl is fantastic for stand out projects. Colors, figure, and patterns vary greatly from piece to piece. Bark incursions and live edges are normal with this species as are some checks. It is common for Buckeye to have 1/8” to 3/16” bow, cup or twist. The wood is very pliable; it is easy to apply pressure to boards to get them to lay flat. Buckeye is an extremely difficult wood to cut and procure. Enjoy this special treat! This slice has some soft spalting present on the first 1-1/2" wide area from the sawn edge. There are a few bug holes in the sapwood. Numerous incursions are present.

This wood is freshly cut as of August 2017. Some pieces will be wax sealed and some will not. There are some bark incursions here and there, and some pieces may still have some residual clay. There are some exceptional pieces available with very few defects, much better than average quality, and these are sure to sell quick! The color spectrum on these pieces have a wide range from blacks and blues to pinks and reds. Get your hands on this gorgeous wood before it’s gone! This piece will need to be cut in half for shipping; if you would like to pay an additional fee to keep it whole please contact Cook Woods within two hours of purchase. If we are shipping this internationally, there will be a de-barking fee.

INCLUDES 1 WOOD BLANK (several blanks are shown to indicate the range of color/grain to expect). Pen blanks may have a slightly rounded corner edge or end and will contain small voids. There is a variation of the amount of color in these blanks. If you need to have perfect, defect free pieces Buckeye is not the wood that you want to use. If you can work with this natural, unique species you will have truly one of a kind projects with great color & character! Skill Level: Intermediate.
