Repost with some price drops. I've been hoarding more wood than I will probably ever get the chance to have made into knife handles, so time to purge some of them. I took multiple photos of each block to show the relevant views, and in some cases to show them under different lighting since colors and grain are sort of hard to capture with some of these. Prices for all of these are shipped to you within the US. Paypal or postal money order. PM me for payment address. No trades please.
A. California Sycamore snakeskin burl and spalted, stabilized
Bought from Mark at Burlsource a couple of years ago. Really cool and unique piece. Stabilized. Measures 9-5/8" x 2-1/8" x 1-1/8". The first set of photos show the two face sides, the second set of photos show the two "spine" sides. $65.

B. Curly Koa, not stabilized
Bought this from an eBay seller a little more than a year ago. It came with a coating of shellac or varnish or something like that. I think the seller put it on to show how it'd look once oiled and finished. I didn't bother to sand off the coating. Measures 9-1/2" x 1-15/16" x 1-7/8". Dry natural block, unstabilized. The photos show all four sides.$65.

D. Ironwood burl
Bought this at a knife show some years ago. Measures 5-1/16" x 1-1/2" x 1-1/16". Photos show the two faces of the block. Since ironwood doesn't need to be stabilized, it's natural. $45 $35..
