Saya Material - Coming Soon

Yumm!

Amen to that. Come to papa, pretty wood.



Thanks again Mark!

Seriously I think your pricing is spot on. On your first post I was thinking it would end up being over 100$ for just the wood.

Well this stuff isn't burl. It's also just lumber. If the lumber was $120 for straight grain, then burl would be(assuming the same markup as other cuts of burl) hundreds of dollars. $2k for a saya, anyone?

Yep that was what I was thinking.

Yep, more than fair.

I think the straight grains with curls e.t.c are more suited for sayas. The large surface of a saya gives the wood a fair chance to display all these nice features that you can't fit on a handle + the staight grains brings a natural flow that burl just don't.
