I'd never even heard of this wood before, but the moment I saw it, my hand-to-wallet reflex kicked in. The grain on this piece is absolutely unreal. Instantly, I started imagining transforming it into a live Tanto or Wakizashi, with the natural figure flowing along the curvature of the handle and sheath. The only downside? There’s only enough material here to make 3 or 4 pieces... But that's exactly the direction we're heading—creating exceptionally rare functional works of art from the exotic woods I somehow keep collecting. Just wanted to share this with you all, as you're the only ones who get me, haha.

I converted the other 18" stick into a short Dan Bog and a 6" yawara palm stick.

These sticks are just the right weight. Was hoping to match my flat stick with the 18". Had some color matching.

Just saying... Jo Bo and Bokken adding to the lineup at some point would be great!
