HEy Guys, I got a big slab of fiddleback Aussie Blackwood, and I plan on making matching block and saya sets. I was wondering what size you like your saya's cut too. Thanks a bunch!

For those who don't know, Australian ( Tasmanian) blackwood is reddish brown to golden, not black. It should work for saya ( not all wood is suitable).I like my saya slabs about 3" wide and 24" long so I can cut a tsuka and saya from it with sori.
