***ALL SOLD***
I have a bit more really excellent African Blackwood available. This stuff is getting harder to find, especially in larger sizes, solid pieces and reasonable prices.
African Blackwood is excellent handle material. It is hard and VERY stable. It is the KING of woods for carving, texturing and checkering. Also looks super classy plain black.
These are high quality, nice big blocks. Solid with no visible defects at all. They have some VERY nice grain and color, will finish out dark but I think the nice grain will still be visible. This is the good stuff.
Pics show one side.....the backs look the same and will finish the same as the fronts.
Prices include shipping to the US. Paypal preferred.
First, two nice big blocks. Exquisite color and straight grain. Both are 2" x 5 1/4" x 1 1/8"
#1: $40 SOLD
#2: $40 SOLD
Next, 3 nice sets of big scales. Solid, beautiful grain and color.
#3: $25 2" x 5 1/4" x 3/8" each scale SOLD
#4: $20 2" x 5" x 3/8" each scale SOLD
#5: $25 2" x 5 1/4" x 3/8" each scale SOLD
Last, two smaller blocks. Nice straight grain, and rich dark brown/black color. Most likely these will be used for smaller scales so each block will yield two sets of scales. Blocks measure 1 7/16" x 1 7/16" x 5".
#6: $25 SOLD
#7: $25 SOLD

Quality blackwood is VERY hard to find right now.
