Same, I prefer blocks or slabs pre-cut from the same block, It might just be MY OCD, but i have to have matching grain and figure on both slabs.. Rastamanwood is another ebay seller that has some nice blanks cut from blocks, he got a mention yesterday here, glad to see him getting some attention. Any time you can find matching stock for razor scales is a good day in my book.,
