I enjoy strawling the net for handle materials. I have some nice stuff but I also have a wish list of stuff that I like to add to my collection.
What we have is shown here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...ece-in-your-personal-stash-of-handle-material

But what would you like to get?

I keep my eyes open for some good figured snake wood scales, black and white ebony and merano sheep horn scales.
Plus I have an idea that needs a 3"piece of ivory but that will only hapen if I stumble across it and if I can afford it.

So what is on your wish list?
 
I would like to be able to get planks of Afzelia Xylay over an inch thick with good figure on both sides.
This is some medium grade that I had a couple years ago. But the figure can be a lot better. I want to find the really good Xylay.

I'd like to do a knife with stone handles, failing that, I'd like to get some gray granite with a nice flowing grain corian. Mark, that is absolutely beautiful wood!
