*pics* Custom Snakewood Handle from Zavod44 *pics*

[Camp]

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 !

The ideal size for one handle would be 1 1/2" x 1" x  11"  that is the bare minimum.  So if you need three 4 1/2" wide x 1" thick x 11"  long.  A little bigger is always better.  It's nice to have a little room for error.  I had never seen that snake wood before.  It was really nice, it's stunning in person.  There was a really nice depth to the wood, the grain is great.  I left the lines off the left side to show more of the grain.....
