Thought that might look good with my recently acquired yellow. Although black walnut burl would look very nice as well

Which handles on your Ivory?  I was thinking of Black and white ebony on mine.  This maybe my favorite so far. Tiger wood, Zebra, or Cedar might all be nice on Ivory too.

I got much more handles to load up here. All of his handles are amazing. Hard choices which one goes on which kettle. Lots of fun though.

I bought the two blanks on eBay, as well as this one Zav had on eBay.

Those Lacewood handles are flippin' far-out dude.

The Blue MBH has a walnut handle, with clear penetrating stain and finished with "satin" spar urethane.

The Red MBH has a birds eye maple handle, with clear penetrating stain and finished with "satin" spar urethane.



@zavod44  sent me exactly what I asked for, thanks Brian!

@Jason, what rivets did you use on these handles and where did you pick them up from? I need to get a pair for a "special project" I have going on.

[Scott Zee]

@Vwbuggin64   Zavod handles come with a screw and a cover that make it look like a rivot

They are pretty awesome but wondering if these Lacewood I been told are actually Leopardwood.

Lacewood -

Has a very conspicuous flecking that gives this wood its namesake. The wood itself is a reddish brown with grey or light brown rays, which result in a lace pattern when quartersawn.

Leopardwood -

Has a very conspicuous flecking that gives this wood its namesake. The wood itself is a medium to dark reddish brown with grey or light brown rays, which resemble the spots of a leopard.

Leopardwood is frequently confused with Lacewood, and is sometimes referred to as such.  Leopardwood (Roupala spp.) can usually be separated from most species of Lacewood (Panopsis spp.) based upon its darker color and higher density.

Regardless, they are beautiful.
