Is that a custom handle?

 

[Mingooch]

quilted maple

 

[Lucretia]

Is that a custom handle?

Why yes it is! It originally had a plastic wrapper on it, which was carefully removed by hand to expose the gleaming black plastic beneath.

Congrats sir!

Most people have never seen curly eucalyptus.
I want to know how Vertigo and Quantumcloud figured it out.
I would have guessed curly mango or ???? if I hadn't known.

I became very familiar with eucalyptus when I talked my boss into spending a few thousand on some fresh cut logs.
Looked like nice wood but it moves like crazy when drying.
Took about 5 years and about 90% waste.

 

[Vertigo]

You gave the answer away in your hints.

 

[SpikeC]

I figured it out after I sent my first guess!
