Looking for Stabilized Afezalia Lay Wood

[Sean O'Hare]

A client is interested in getting one of my knives but really wants stabilized Afezalia Lay wood for the handle. Does anyone have any they might like to sell or trade for? Do you know of a source for this wood for knife handles? I can only find pen blanks which are too small.

I'd love to pick some of this up.

Thanks,
Sean

Sean,

Try giving Mike a call at Wood Stabilizing Specialists Inc. 1-800-301-9774.
http://www.stabilizedwood.com Mike sometimes has Afzelia Lay in stock. His price is fair and the quality of the stablized wood is high. Your customer will be pleased.

I bought some blocks from Jim Fray @ Wildwoods 419.866.0435 in Monclova Ohio. I'm not sure if he has stabilized but you can send them to Mike at the link Jeff provided.
You can also try http://www.blankity-blanks.com/bdspecies.htm

If you can't find any, email me, I have an extra block dakcon@comcast.net

These folks have everything, but I don't think they cut knifehandle size pieces. I don't buy knifehandle sized pieces.

Thanks guys!

I actually found a guy who has a little this morning. If it doesn't pan out I'll try one of the links listed here. Didn't think to call Mike at WSSI, I buy most of my stabilized stuff from him but have only ever bought what I saw on his website.
