I have 6 more blocks of beautiful Camatillo available. Camatillo is a true Rosewood from South and Central America. It is heavy dense hard and stable. It is naturally oily and polishes up quite nicely.

Color is vivid dark brown/burgundy/purple with black grain. This is truly some of the most beautiful wood I have seen. The colors in the photos seem pretty true to life.

These are large blocks, capable of making full size bowie handles. Good solid blocks here, not many defects at all. Pictures show fronts and backs of blocks, in groups of 4. Sapwood is very thin and just on corners. There is PLENTY of room to get rid of it on all the blocks.

Prices include shipping. I accept paypal, checks or money orders (funds must clear prior to shipping). Please post which blocks you would like in this thread. I can adjust the price a little on multiple blocks.

Paypal can go to jdoyleknives AT gmail DOT com

These have been wiped down lightly with oil to help show finished color.

Every block is at least 2" x 5" x 15/16". Price is $30 per block or any two blocks for $50.









Here's what some of this looks like finished out:

Hi John,
How about 4 blocks, 18, 19, 21, 22, for $80? Don't really need any more blocks but the color is so nice.

Sorry Tim, can't do it for that low. I'd go $90 on the four.

These are still available, by the way. First come, first served. :)
 
Hey John,
Thanks for saving me from myself. I've already got about $2500 worth of blocks to get through before I buy some more. They are beautiful, though.

Am I going to have to make a handle out of this stuff to show how nice it looks finished in order to sell these last 4 blocks? ;) :)

Seriously though, I kept 6 of these blocks for my own use, it's really nice looking stuff.
 
Still 4 nice blocks left. I added some pictures of a finished knife with a handle of this rosewood in the original post.
