Cross cut and bias look the most unique to me, the other options look kind of plain but I could be wrong.

What's the going price for a table top size slab, or do these get fully turned into furniture and sold that way? Just curious

Thanks for the info, I guess i'll let this sit for a year or two to be sure it is dry. It wasn't labeled and all the people at the store just said lignum vitae but I think the end grain looks more like the argentinian description with pore clusters. I was also going to see if it sank in water.

I found this in the scrap bin at woodcraft, it was $3 per pound. It is very heavy and has a fruity flowery smell to it. The guys at the store were really negative about it and said that I would never be able to glue it and that it smelled like industrial bathroom cleaner. Is this lignum...

I'm in. These are great knives.

Awesome, I'm in too.

That's really nice. Is this one of those with a curved transition from tang to bolster? I can't quite tell from the pictures.

I'd definitely buy a piece if I could afford it, looks nice.

(EDIT: in response to Jvanis) I bought them off ebay, Leo39 is the seller but I just looked and it he doesn't have any up right now.

I appreciate the positive comments. All the work posted here by everyone definitely provides confidence to try new things and take some chances. Also, the wood from burlsource is amazing, it's worth making handles just to look at.

Gifts for family and friends, but I got a real belt and disk grinder for christmas so that made things much easier.

That looks really nice

Wow tempting, I really love the look of these but I just wouldn't use it enough. I enjoy my ealy 210 a lot so I hope you get one.

The first two look like oak, the last one looks like silky oak, and I have no idea what the third to last one is. I'll guess redwood burl.
