Local hardwoods & stabilized woods


**I stock local eco-harvested hardwoods. I will sometimes work with ⇒exotic tropical lumber⇐ but encourage everyone to boycott the purchase of expensive rare tropical woods.
So if you want a knife with these woods, I might order some in but reserve the right to offer an alternative or refuse to use it.


Each handle comes with local hardwood and brass bolsters included in the price & all prices are listed on my ⇒ price list.⇐

Light and dark woods now available are as follows:

Light colored woods are Tiger Striped Hard Rock Maple (check for availability- small amount left), Madrone Wood, Hickory, Mesquite & Manzanita.

Dark colored woods are stabilized Redwood (see left ⇐ sidebar tab on any page, called ‘stabilized Redwood’), Black Walnut, English Walnut and Claro Walnut.

Stabilized wood

If you want stabilized wood, I now offer stabilized Redwood for $15.00 to ordering clients. See left sidebar tab called ‘Stabilized Redwood’ for further information.
Redwood I consider dark wood. If you want a different stabilized dark wood, or a light wood then tell me and I can send you some sensible options. There is a charge if I need to deal with ‘out of the shop wood’. Extra cost to you for using of of the shop wood is $20, plus the full cost of the stabilized wood you choose and shipping cost to me.
