I need a little advice from you guys and I am willing to reward you for your help.
When I find a really cool piece of wood, the first thing I want to do is cut it up into pieces for knife handles. But...... right now I still have several hundred blocks I haven't sanded and photographed yet. My boss thinks I should focus on getting those finished, but I have had this piece stashed in my workshop for a few months and I keep wanting to cut it up. It is about 32" x 9" x 2" and it's begging to be used for knife handles. This is the harder redwood, about 50% heavier than normal stuff. Some of the blocks would have both sapwood and heartwood. It also has way more reflective figure than normal.
I figured if a dozen or more of you guys said you might want some I could justify cutting it up. How I would reward you guys is anyone who posted here that you want some of this would get a discount of $5 off the cost of each block you get. You would still get to pick out the ones you want. Let me know if there are special sizes you need. I am guessing the blocks will sell for $15-$20 each. But if a block you wanted was listed for $15, you would get it for $10.
What do you think?
