More Blanks On The Way

Leave a comment

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.

Russian Olive Flute Blank Sets

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.

If you are a flute builder or just a weekend warrior visit our Pre-Bored Flute Blanks page and see if you find a blank that you can transform into another magical wind instrument.

After a long winter and selling just about most of our winter inventory I am just getting ready to put the final touches on this batch of new Flute Blanks.  In this batch there will be Western Red Cedar, Port Orford Cedar, Alaskan Yellow Cedar and a couple of Russian Olive blanks.  Bore sizes will vary from 3/4″ to 1″ in this batch.  All of these blanks will be available for purchase  on Jackson Hole Tim and our Ebay Store.

Old Growth Port Orford Cedar Flute Blanks with Birds Eye Maple Properties – Very Nice blanks

In this batch there will be 5 Old Growth Port Orford Cedar blanks that are all matched and from the same board.  These blanks are very unusual as they have the properties of Birds Eye Maple.  All five of these blanks will be bored at 7/8″ and will feature a slightly longer Slow Air Chamber which should make for very nice Aesthetics.  Each blank will be $52.00 each as these are very rare to come by.  The other POC blanks are also very nice but from different boards.

Any of these blanks can be secured for a commissioned flute as well.  If you are looking for an opportunity to own a truly unique flute blank then one of these five would be the ones.  If you have interest to purchase message me and we can set them aside.  Otherwise you will find them listed very soon.

Contact me by email @ timjen333@gmail.com or call (307) 690-0427.  To secure any one of these POC blanks I will invoice you for full payment and shipping.
