On another note this box of handle blocks arrived today. Friday last week I spoke to my wood guy in Texas and today, wed they arrived so am very pleased as they are replacement wood for the handle blanks that have either gone missing or are under 2 months worth of international post in some dark basement somewhere. Lacewood burl and tassie blackwood and I was just speaking to him and he was telling me about some amboyna burl he may be getting in.
