This thread is now closed. Thank You Guys. I think you will enjoy this stuff.

I told one of my Koa suppliers I wanted some of the strange stuff. Told him what I needed were pieces that were really bold and unusual. He sent me a box of koa with a short note that said "Strange enough for you?"

The figure on most of these blocks is so intense you could rub them on the sidewalk to sand them and then smear them with bacon fat for a finish and they would still look good. This is natural wood, it has not been stabilized. Some of these pieces are big enough that you could get a big fat butt bowie or 2 or 3 regular knife handles.

I am pricing them all the same for 1 day at $60 each with Free US Shipping. International shipping is $10 or Free if you buy 2 or more.

This is lower than most of these would normally be priced. If I sell these fast I can buy another batch my supplier has set aside for me. End of the day Tuesday I will close the thread and price them at regular prices and place them in my webstore.

When you decide which ones you want, just post "I'll take #s ...." and I will mark them sold for you. My address for Paypal is itsaburl@hotmail.com

The flash from my camera made the colors washed out looking. In real life most of the blocks will have more of a golden hue

Tally of Sold Blocks
When you make payment with Paypal use the send money option. My address to use is itsaburl@hotmail.com. Be sure to click the goods button so it will transfer over your shipping address and tell your user name and block number in the notes section so I don't have to guess what the money is for. If you would prefer that I send you a money request/invoice send me a PM with your mailing address. Thanks, Mark

BTW - thanks for offering these in a larger size. 6" long by 2 1/2 to 2 3/4" wide really opens up some options for handle shaping. :thumbup:

Roger,
It was because of the input from people like yourself, Nick, Magnus and a few others that I am doing this. Now and in the future I will be cutting about 25% or more of the blocks to be used with bigger knives with flared or dropped butts. I am always listening if you guys have any other ideas or requests.
