WOW, Thanks Guys for the comments and yea. I got lucky and found this stuff a few years back. Its some of the nicest figured and colored rose wood I had seen. So I bought a BUNCH like 12 knives worth.. To my surprise. It was still a bit "wet" and needed to be cured out. It was TOUGH waiting to use it, ohh but so worth it!
Because, I know how bad it is to work really hard and make a beautiful handle, from some of your nicest woods, only for it to shrink and or crack. Its a Hard lesson, but one you
wont soon forget! lol Im sure theres a few of you guys who know exactly what Im talking about!
So anyways. Thanks again for checking it out. and for the complements!
God Bless YA and Happy Thanksgiving!
