Most of the pieces in this thread have been sold. The remaining pieces have been moved to our website. They can be found in our knife handle web store.

I am trying listing lots of blocks in one thread instead of a separate thread for each type of wood. I am hoping this will make it easier for you to look through all the different knife handle blocks instead of going from one thread to another. Each group of photos will be a batch of similar type blocks. Be sure to keep scrolling down so you will see all the different blocks as I add them to this thread.

SPECIAL DEAL Use this link for details http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6995848&postcount=9

When you see one you want, just post that you want it and the block number. That way nobody will buy it out from under you. After I see your post I will mark that block as sold to avoid any confusion. Paypal is the easiest way to pay. You just pay the cost of the blocks. No added fees. My address for paypal payments is itsaburl@hotmail.com . Free shipping in the US.
Here is the first batch for this thread. Keep scrolling down and coming back because I will be adding a whole lot more.

These blocks are natural wood. They are not stabilized. There have been some requests from some of you guys who do your own stabilizing, so these are for you. You guys have already gotten most of my stabilized blocks so I am waiting for more Resinol to arrive before I can do more stabilizing.
Eucalyptus all sold
These blocks are Figured California Redgum Eucalyptus

These blocks are California Claro Walnut. Cool grain patterns, good figure and colors in these blocks.

#N64 SOLD$15 7"x1.75"x1"
#N65 $15 6.5"x2.25"x1&1/8"
#N66 $15 6.5"x2"x1.25"
#N67 $15 6"x2"x1&3/8"

Photos show the wood lightly misted with water so you can get an idea how they will look finished. There may be some small voids or hairline checks in some blocks that will trim away when you shape your handle. I left the blocks way oversized so it should not be an issue if there is something you decide to trim away.

These blocks are California Claro Walnut and one English Walnut (N68). Cool grain patterns, good figure and colors in these blocks. The English Walnut has the speckled figure caused by mistletoe. The ones on each end were cut from the bulge just below the graft line of the tree.

These blocks are Western Bigleaf Maple Burl. The figure is much more compact and 3 dimensional than is normally seen in maple burl. This is the good stuff.
