Billet Boxes
I have a good stock of Alder wood and am currently offering a billet box service to email subscribers. You'll get 5kg worth of fresh Alder in split rectangular billets roughly 16cm x 3cm in size. This usually provides around 8 - 10 billets. Perfect for carving eating spoons

The billets are from fresh Alder and will either be radial or tangentially split, I will make sure you get nice straight (ish!) blanks which will have plenty of material for the spoon design of your choice. Alder is a fabulous all round wood for spoons, it is pale in colour, on the softer side for a hardwood but takes a nice crisp finish. The great thing is its carve able even when on the drier side.  

Storage
I recommend carving the billets straightaway. If you would like to keep them longer they can be frozen in the freezer or kept in a binbag!

Store outside in a shed or out of direct sunlight in the coolest place possible
