I wants some!! Will you posting on here first or will you do the email thing.

I will post here first. You guys have been real good to me since I have been here.
I get to see lots of great photos of the handles you make, I have learned a lot, and I now have the best kitchen knives I have ever had.

I'm sure I speak for many people here - the pleasure has been ours. You've shown us a wide variety of beautiful woods that we've never seen before and given us the opportunity to improve the knives we have.

Thanks again, Mark. I'm looking forward to seeing these blocks come back from stabilizing.

About how many handle-sized blocks can you eek out of a slab like that? It is beautiful.

That looks fantastic. I love redwood and that is amazing. I am definitely in line for some!

What I have shown in the photo is about 1/3 of the slab.
These are the blocks I cut. Almost all will yield 2 wa handles and some ferrule material. I am always afraid I am going to cut the blocks too small so I end up with a bunch of big ones.

Wow!

Any wa-handle makers who score some blocks, can you post here to let us bid on handles?

I dont even have a thing for red wood, and I Gota have a block or 2 of this stuff! Great score Mark!
