I suspect most makers are buying the blocks vs doing it on their own. There's a lot of great vendors out there; stabilizing wood takes a decent amount of time and expertise so it's the kind of thing that's good to rely on the experts.
Every once in a while I can't resist buying a cool block of wood but then I have the problem of finding a knife to put it on. I mean, you have the material for a handle, might as well commission a custom knife to use it, right?
