Very Good Koa - New Stabilized Blocks

I just got a lot of new wood back from being stabilized by K&G. If any of you have been to my web store recently you probably noticed that the inventory was pretty low. Seems like everyone is buying a lot more these last few months, so I had to bump up the amount of wood that I am getting stabilized. I have a couple hundred new blocks that I am getting cleaned up and ready to go.
I thought I would start out with some Koa.

To see the brand new stabilized blocks click this link and it will take you to the brand new pieces section of our web store.

I could not get a good group photo so here are some small photos of the new Koa. Kind of spendy but it sure is pretty wood.

I just added some Sycamore too.

Beautiful wood!

Thank You Seward.

Some Redwood too.

That's all for tonight. I will get back to adding more wood in the morning.

Nothing like morning wood

I just added some Cascara Buckthorne.

Now it's time to start cleaning up these guys.

Got them cleaned up. Now individual photos and get them in the web store.

A certain knife maker snatched up most of the new Koa blocks. But he left a few for the rest of you guys.
Good thing this showed up today. I will clean them up tomorrow.

that was some good Koa

Yep, there were some beautiful pieces. There was a super nice one, but it was kind of pricey, so I had to think about it. Someone else got it. Oh well, Mark will probably have some more really nice stuff soon.

Wonder which knife maker.

It was not one of the makers from here. Not going to mention his name but he has been a customer since I first started with knife handle wood. I have watched his work over the years. At the shows I have been to, he always gets at least one best in class award. I am pretty sure the blocks will go onto fairly high end collectible knives.
