I'm with you Trand ......
Seeing everyone's display fueled my fire too!

The woods do have a character all to themselves,
and are a bit lighter in weight than the stag or bone.

Hatback; nice group of photos! I'm glad to see you got that particular Tidioute Bocote; I very nearly pulled the trigger on that one myself only to decide too late! Congrats on a fine bunch!

Barry .... that cocobolo toothpick took me off guard ... VERY NICE!!! ::tu::
((I wasn't aware GEC produced any in the #12 (must be a short run??).))

I stitched up the pouch for my #12 snakewood mainly for pocket protection.
If I EDC a GEC, I always use a pouch ... and with other brands not so often.

I agree Monk; I'd like to see Great Eastern do more in that exact pattern with some nice wood or bone. How about some Tulip wood, or Kingwood, or even Purpleheart? ::shrug:: Desert Ironwood would be something truly special! ::pray::

With a little imagination, you can just see what it might look like...

From the top; ebony, tulip wood, kingwood, and purpleheart. The kingwood is really nice; hard, fine grained, and decently figured, but they'd all look cool. 8)
