Hey guys,
looking for some advice. For a sweet knife project I am currently looking for a greyish/blackish knife block (for wa-handle). What are the usual suspects? African blackwood, ebony, bog oak, black died maple, buckeye burl? Handle will be on a KU finish blade, so I would like to avoid all other colour tones (buckeye burl often goes into the yellowish colour or has some orange/brownish spots, don't like that)...
I would be happy to receive recommendations for online shops.
Also, if you have smth particular to offer, please PM.
