Damascus & Black and White Ebony End Grain Knife

Here is the before! The right scale has had a cellulose grain sealant applied so I could see what it woul look like finished. I cant wait to get started!

Here are pictures of every species I currently have to work with. I JUST got a large shipment of stock from Laos, and Hawaii. Some of the woods pictured sell for over $100/lb, and are among the rarest on earth. Amboyna burl is so rare that it may not exist at all in another ten years! For each pen I will cut a piece with the highest figure of the stock. I hope you like what you see! (click to enlarge pictures)
