    Trees are a renewable resource, unfortunately if they are not replanted there is no renewal. A lot of these wood that we prize so much are very slow growing to boot. Add to that the very destructive, to the environment, and unregulated harvesting methods used in places where these exotic woods grow and you are on the road to extinction. Raping it is.

    Chaffee (rastamanwood) is a cool guy, he even cuts some 1/8th-3/16th blanks for razor scales, which makes it allot easier then trying to cut down a thicker piece your self. This is where I've been sourcing all my wood for scales.
