I got a chunk of snakewood, from Suriname, off ebay.
It was listed as a turning block for a pool cue, etc...
The handle is hefty, more than twice the weight of standard wooden handles, deep, dark and rich in color and detail. Like a fine piece of furniture.
I've adjusted the brightness and contrast to show off the detail.
It was difficult to photograh because of it's darkness and shine.
Truly a magnificent piece of craftsmanship, and I could'nt be more pleased.
Thank you, Brian !
