nice ,wish i had the money.
Are many woods that no longer exsist,are many woods we think are common today that can no longer be imported.
I have seen the cost of exotics triple in the past year.
4 mos. ago african blackwood was $18 a stick (2x2x12) today it is $38 w'sale. all the ebonys are off the charts as are the dalbergias.
Have been on a wood buying binge for the past few yrs,but when it is gone,it is gone forever.
Going to bight the bullit and make a Coromandel Brush handle later today,will be a small one:)
That beautiful wood just beckons to be turned into a beautiful brush handle or razor scales. I say go for it!
Jesus Christ...
I'm sorry it went deeper than my pockets, although I didn't have much of a chance, I really wanted that box, the razors were simply going to be a bonus.
It sold for less than I expected it go for.
