....with BG42 .... wow.... did I just find a new grail?

I'm looking for actual photos of it, but have found more than one reference to Lacewood inlay being used.

There is also this from '00 - https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/wood-used-in-sebenza.127860/#post-999720

We are not able to offer special orders in the choice of woods as all inlays are selected at random from the most interesting pieces we can find. The woods that we are using are Southwest Maple Burl, Southwest Spalted Maple, Southwest California Buckeye, Box Elder and Curly Maple.

I'm also trying to hunt down a "Madrone Burl" ... https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/sebanza-owners-why-did-you-sell-yours.202266/#post-1660147

....looks like this would've been part of the annual series rather than the classix

I know there is Gabon ebony and Macassar Ebony, but is there also just Ebony?

_user_removed I have seen birth cards labeled just "Ebony" but am not sure if it was just an effort to save room on the label and birth cards.

Whoa... now we have photos! This is so cool.

 

[James Longstreet]

Yep! Need to close a few gaps, but then we'll be done.

 

[James Longstreet]

Okay. I think that's about it for the moment from my side. I had a hard time finding suitable pics of those inlay types which I do not have in my own collection, because of the Photobucket drama. While searching I get many results of BF threads with pics, but 99% hosted at Photobucket and therefore not accessible. I am sure some of you have nice pics available. I would encourage you to post > upload them here so that I can exchange less good pics against better pics.

I wasn't able to find neither pics of Black Palm inlays (other than the gold wire w. Black Palm), nor English Walnut. So if you can help out with pics I would be very pleased.

Rosewood, Honduran - 21 (Blade HQ exclusive)

Guilty as charged.


Here's Desert Ironwood.

 

[_user_removed]

It took some digging, and unfortunately the card covers the inlay type. However, here is a Lacewood Classic Sebenza.

[_user_removed]

Also - the Rosewood, Madagascar should be updated to include the MM as well.

 

[James Longstreet]

Thanks for your input, ganagati. I will update during today. Lacewood ..... 1st time I hear it. Curious how many more wood types will appear

 

[_user_removed]

English Walnut
