Pen Blanks
Adrian suggested I join this forum. I'm the guy that sent him some pen blanks from the USA. Shipping was a breeze, and I can fit about 22 pen blanks in a small flat rate box. Apparently, it took less than two weeks to get to Australia from here. Shipping on a flat rate box was about $25US.
I have lots of pen blanks available...
currently I have:
ambrosia maple $.75/blank
birdseye maple $.90/blank
bocote $1.75/blank
zebrawood $1.25/blank
caribbean cherry $.90/blank
makore $1.25/blank
american chestnut $3.00/blank
cocobolo $1.25/blank
goncalo alves $.90/blank
granadillo $1.25/blank
jatoba $.90/blank
koa $3.75/blank
lacewood $.95/blank
peruvian walnut $.90/blank
purpleheart $.75/blank
redheart $1.50/blank
red marble wood $1.20/blank
sapele $.90/blank
shedua $.90/blank
prices are in US dollars
I do not know why this is an auction post… it's not intended to be one.

Before posting any wood products to Australia, it would be worth checking the Quarantine regulations. Most timber needs treatment before it's allowed in. It's not just visible borers etc that are a problem, there are also issues with moulds and fungi that can damage Australian plants.

Pen blanks are fine. (I've imported before and they simply Gamma it if worried. They rang once and on others emailed me to check if OK)
I'll be ordering some for sure! I simply can not believe how cheap timber is in the USA. The incredible variety and availability is AWESOME!
