These are on their way to Belgium.
He wanted me to pick some good Koa.
I hope he likes them.

Do blocks like that ever make it to the website? Got any more?
 
I don't think there is any such thing as too much Koa.
These are being mailed to me from Hawaii.

That's not right. Just leave some of the good stuff for me, will'ya?

Seriously guys. This thread is killing me. I said way way up in the thread that I am afraid to open it -- and this is still the case. Pornography is easier to click out of.

Hate comes in many variations, and in this forum 'love hate' is the most common ;)

I just got a package from Hawaii :EDance2: This stuff has some SICK curl!! super tight.

yep. I just ordered some from Mark because I ran out of striped curly koa of all things.... I keep telling myself that I like the irregular figuring better, but I still get envy when I see these here. :O

You guys can imagine my JOY when I opened this box O wood! :) You know how it is when your buying woods from some sellers. All I got was a out of focus cell phone picture of the wood and had to cover one eye and sorta squint and set back from the computer monitor and try and decide if the stuff has the right look. lol Im glad I took the chance on this batch! Its way nicer then I had hoped! And to top it all off, I got even more awesome stabilized Koa from Mark in the mail today! SCORE!!!!

So you live in Hawaii, the Koa grows in Hawaii, Mark buys it and gets it shipped to him from Hawaii, then you buy it from him and ship it back to Hawaii?

You almost got it, but you forgot that Mark first ships it to Arizona for stabilizing, they ship it back to him, and then I order it... That's what I mean by an eco-friendly approach and using mostly local woods for my projects :angel2: Well, that was an exception because I needed a good piece quickly.

Damn Randy.....might have to sweet talk you out of a chunk of that when i come up.....that is some super sexy stuff....you all are making me jealous...lol:drool:
 
Spalted Hackberry.

From Craig:

The handle came out amazing. I don't know what Craig does to stabilize his stuff, but the handle feels like natural wood, not plastic-y at all. Very warm, you can still feel the grain texture.

Oh and I got two more pieces of wood from Craig today:

:D Spalted Golden Marcian Masur Birch Burl and Diamond Willow Burl. Now I just gotta find knives to put them on!

This was an experiment I didn't remember doing. I might have just put it in the wrong box. Turned out ok though. The wood Is Oregon Ash.
 
I like blue and green too... let me know if you have more experiments you'd like to part with!!
