Dyed box elder burl, sources

[JTknives]

I am getting ready to order the materials for my brothers eagle scout knives and was thinking of using stabilized box elder burl that has been dyed to there favorite color green and red. I'm not looking for a real dark dye but just a nice touch of color so they don't fight about what one is theirs. where would i look for some nice blocks of this stuff. Thanks

Hey JT,

I've got some great stabilized box elder burl from these guys ---> http://www.galleryhardwoods.com/knifehandle.htm Give them a call. They are really helpful and can send current pictures of selections. I've seen their selection at a show in Pasadena earlier this year. I recall seeing a green and red block that would be just perfect for what you want to do...
