Here is a Aromatic Red Cedar Handle that I finished today. My little shop smells "April fresh". A welcome change after antler and Buff. horn both of which smell like horse feet.

Right now I have

Hi... thanks for the response. I must admit that I don't know what 1/2 or more of those options would look like. I am partial to the Buffalo horn and some of the woods, but happily defer to your expertise. Maybe something different, but I am a little traditional in my tastes (i.e., not pink ivory for a stockman). I also like tuxedo and pen knives. If you have an inspiration there and it is possible, I am definitely interested. Maybe down the road some. keep up the great work.

s-k
p.s. purely based on the names... Brazilian cherry, purple heart, zebra wood, blood wood, elk antler?
