Some days I just feel like cutting flute blanks.  For me this is actually something I need to get psyched about in order to get them done right.  There are so many steps that go into making a good quality blank not to mention the large amount of time that goes into each and every one.

I have been cutting flute blanks for not only my own projects but for flute builders of every skill level a very long time.  I have cut flute blanks for more than 18 years and I would guess we have one of the best selections of ready to build flute blanks sets around.

For the past several days I have been going through boards and selecting what I think will make good flute blanks and cutting them to size with all the parts that are needed.  Each and every blank gets drum sanded to exact dimensions for our jigs and then checked and double checked for accuracy.  Finally each one is shrink wrapped to protect the integrity of each one prior to shipping.

One of my favorite woods to make a flute from is Russian Olive.  Russian Olive boards always seem to have a twisted soul.  But when I can find a board that I can render blanks from I try and spend extra time making sure they are right.  These 7 pictured here are exactly what I like to end up with.  2 have already been spoken for but these are some really nice Russian Olive blanks sets.
