​Wood that you cut yourself 

This is where I offer wood specifically for knife handle material, sold in sets or suitable size blocks. Prices vary by type of wood, quality, natural dyed stabilized etc. I am a knife maker myself so understand the qualities wood has to have. I can answer questions you at have. Most of this wood is Alaska interior I find myself. I find cut stabilize. Some is unique to Alaska, not common on the market, so is a unique product. I go to Tucson for the big fossil show and have contacts now for ironwood and fruit tree wood so some of this is offered. I am the source for most woods here so can offer best prices, or meet unique needs.
