I believe Peter said. This was Tamarind burl. My spelling may be wrong.
as long as you're here, and paying attention . . .
I'm speechless!!
How did you know what to cut away?
Simple. I just removed everything that didn't look like David.

So, in answer to a couple of questions: both of those are blocks/blanks that ValHeli hunted up on the interschnitzel. I don't know how he does it; but he's kin'a ninja like that. From the variety of sources he got pieces from, I would guess he was searching far and wide. Also, his approach is/was daring. He has quite a few pieces here that may or may not work for a mod. Both of these were pretty big question marks. The one is Tamarind Burl (as 2-2-0 mentioned above), and there's some discussion about that here:
KInÑyeé's question . . .
The other (↓) is a resin cast Amboyna burl. And I don't have much to say about that, except, using that type of mixed-media, cooked up in a pot, materials is gonna run with some risk of failure (in fabrication or after some use).

Two years of high school Latin is long since forgotten but I think you may be correct
Thanks Peter, I'm gonna do some research into sourcing the most sexy piece of wood I can possibly find. Heck if I'm waiting almost 2 years for Sumpin I might as well make it my mission to find the ultimate piece of lumber

The green one is actually a piece ValHeli found too. He popped in here one day, saying look look go get it.

That there is my Sumpin's (I named it Todd) brother! Would be cool if they were united
I knew you would like that one Cap'n! It's my fave out of the bunch also
Ain't that the truth! My wife STILL insists I look at links to interesting pieces at times.
Think big.
This mite be a dumb question but, Do the people on the list supply there own wood?
From "The Library" . . . (a good resource)
MATERIALS:
The basic idea here, is that I'm making mods from materials which I select to be practically suitable and aesthetically pleasing. (Wood, metal, Richlite). One is welcome (optional) to provide me with the materials that they find pleasing. Folks are shopping for stabilized and stabilized/dyed woods/burls online, and shipping it to me as their turn arises for mod manufacture. The information regarding size of blank material one might need is to be had solely by PMing me and initiating a conversation. This is my means of insuring some degree of quality control and avoiding unpleasant surprises.
Sourcing your own materials is your own cost and is extra, bonus, on top of the cost of a mod. Furthermore, sourcing your own materials entails it's own risks. If the material proves unsuitable for making all or part of a mod, that is your loss. One may default to Richlite caps (having hoped for matching caps), and subsequently change their order to "Standard", if the material isn't strong enough to serve for caps. Another risk is that an internal flaw may render the material useless. Also, too, there may be an accident in the shop (in the manufacturing process). If an accident happens with your custom material, that too, would be your loss. I will not compensate for loss of material through innocent accident.
