I wouldn't normally put two burls togeather, but I kinda like these two. I was going to use the rosewood for the ferrule and Maple for the handle. What do you guys think, should I? Its going on one of my knives:wink:

I think that would be a great combo. Since the grain pattern is pretty similar, I think they would match up well and provide nice color contrast.
 
Seems like a very Del-esque thing to do. I don't hear too many people complaining about his choices in handle material.
 
I think it would work out really good.
Good contrasting colors as opposed to clashing.
I bet it would look really good if you used a black spacer between the two different woods.
 
I agree with the black spacer suggestion. And I would make sure there is enough rosewood left for a handle, looks like a great piece...

I think it would cool the other way around if the rosewood is big enough for a handle.

The maple kinda looks like a blond ferrule on a rosewood wa knife
 
Stefan, I have another big block for a handle, bought the small block to use for ferrules this stuff was expensive!!
 
I don't think I've really seen many knives with the lighter colour handle and dark ferrule with woods like these, it sounds like it would look interesting
 
Its pretty much done. I like it. Now I gotta figure what knife to put it on

A takeda, no doubt. Nice work as always Mike.
 
I am running out of Takedas to re-handle. Logging on to AZCK right now I need a Nakiri
