in future wood inlaid sebenza's?

I think Black walnut would look good

here is a decent reference

I think a nice fiddleback maple burl would look really nice on the polished handle of a small classic sebenza. It's an extremely strong wood as well.
 
There are some really nice Australian woods that can look good on handles.

Here is a pic., (if it works), of a knife I designed with a Mallee Root Burl handle.

Hae ebony been done yet? I like that look of dark wood with the silver contrast. I gotta say I like the box elder though too :cool:
 
Chickenfried, I really like the Bastogne hybrid walnut, what beautiful wood. Frankly, I'd never heard of it before. What's the origin of the name? Does it have anything to do with the Luxemburg town of WWII fame?
