I'm with you on that.

I'm optimistically hoping it gets in my hands before Christmas morning, but realistically expecting it in early January.

I'm estimating "Two weeks"

Hard to believe this thread has been running for 9 months.
I'm still hopeful we will see them in 2019.
Back in March, I guessed we would have them by mid-year.
Not complaining, just an observation...

Are you planning to have the blackwood replaced with a different wood before it's sent on to you?

You could call GEC and ask about their timber sourcing policies. It might not matter to everyone, but it's nice to have more information.

Yes - replaced with jobillo wood. I like the look and its not listed on CITES.

I am not too familiar with how it works but I think GEC would need some sort of official statement on CITES - even then it might not be enough. I am not a SJW but sustainable foresting is an issue that seems worth supporting.

With the CITES categories we are talking about, declaring is the main requirement. And declaration means FWS inspection, which is expensive. Most of these woods, horns, shells, are not on the endangered list - just on the tracking list.

Daaaang, that looks sick. Can't wait. What a beauty.

Looking good! I hope there's a tall enough kick for me to file down and drop that blade a little.

Just beware of the rap.
