Hi Duane, i see 9 blanks, what about those 3 in the back? What would be the shipping costs for Holland, Europe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
duane88 Posted April 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Hello Emil, I am not sure, but I think that shipping to Holland might be a problem. Please check into that and get back to me. CITES regulations and all. If I can ship them via US Postal Service, the shipping might be reasonable, but I would hate for them to be confiscated and destroyed. The 3 in the back I am keeping for myself as they were gifts from a bowmaker friend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emilg Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Ok thanks Duane, i'll look into that if it's allowed.. strange world we live in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
duane88 Posted April 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 These sticks aren't "old" but I have been in personal possession of them for 15 years, so they are at least that old, but I have no CITES documentation as to their origin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
duane88 Posted April 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 HomePernambuco Pernambuco Brazil wood or Pernambuco is a rare exotic hardwood that is a burnt reddish-orange color. It is noteworthy that Brazil was named after this wood due to the fact that the vivid orange and burnt red colors of the wood closely resemble the soil of Brazil.Uses include but are not limited to orange dye, stringed instrument bows, and fine boxes. This is a very stiff wood that is the wood of choice for instrument bows.A glass like finish can be obtained for stunning articles! Caselpinia echinata. We are really fortunate that we can offer this unique historic wood!We CANNOT ship this wood outside of the USA. From the Cook Woods website in Oregon, USA, so it might not be possible.

Step one, finding Pernambuco with the grain cut exactly on the quarter. Are you pieces still for sale? I am in the Columbus OH area. Thank you . Rich. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
