still nose to the grind wheel and having fun doing it

so far as stabilized wood doo us all a favor and buy it from a good source as the home brew stuff is shaky at best
K&G and WSSI are 2 places that will stablize wood that you have and they also have sales of wood on site but for hand picking alpha knife supply and burl source are good to go tho mark at burl source has longer blocks better for razor makers
