Justin those look good. The curl really sets them off. Buckeye is a beautiful wood. Can't wait to see what you make.
 
Brought back some nice wood from Blade. There were thousands of pieces to chose from.... I might be to picky. I only found 5 that I wanted.

Some spalted hackberry from Pete Crowl.
 
Something about this wood on the left caught my eye, if I remember right it is old growth Douglas fir, I just love the grain, it almost looks synthetic. The one on the right is some dyed curly mango.

Ty, was it just me or was there a huge shortage of koa at the show. I looked everywhere for some, but no luck. Didn't get any wood at blade, but I did pick up a couple nice sets of giraffe bone.

We need a like button. I almost don't have to type in beautiful pieces of wood. The phone does it for me.

There was some Koa. It was way over priced and hard to find. I went back through the vendors booths looking for material for someone else. All the Koa was gone by Saturday afternoon. I have been at this for a very short time but it didn't take me long to figure out if you see Koa at a good price buy it.
The wood pusher on this forum :3: told me it is money in bank. Like a long-term investment.... It has proven to be some really good advice.
