    It's not often I'm tempted to keep a block of wood for a future handle I might want, but this was one of those times. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a top quality slab of Honduran Rosewood Burl (HRB) and they are magnificent blanks. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so I'll let my pictures do the talking for me. All I'll say is that they are stunning blanks that will make fantastic handles. These blanks are cut for wa handles. Prices range from $70 to $80, a fair value for this quality HRB. Just click on the picture below to take you to that page on my site.

    They are all 4.9" long and 1.5" square.
     
  5. They're beautiful, but I'm going to have to pass on them:( I'm certain they'll find great homes on knives to be!
