I think my last knives are a quite nice pieces, and photographs don't do real justice.
Olive burl is always fantastic, and when finding the right pieces is second to noone. A grief to work but... it worths the game!

And I'm lucky to find them not so difficult.

Here are a couple favorite woods of mine. Both these knives are S30V with Martin Mosaic pins, the first is stablized Black Ash Burl and the second is Desert Ironwood. Not really sure any pictures can ever really capture the depth of a good piece of wood properly done. Great thread.

This one is a piece of beautiful Claro Walnut that was scrap from a gun stock maker friend that I had stabilized,
