I don't know if I am using the correct terminology, so I will explain:
I have some blocks of ambrosia maple and spalted hackberry that have been stabilized by K & G. They are about 5"X1.5"X1". The grain does not run along the length of the blocks, so I am saying that the end grain is what shows on the sides, not at the ends. I just sent these two blocks like this to K and G along with a bunch of other ones just for the heck of it. I don't know how durable a handle would be if made with this wood. has enybody here ever made a handle like that? Did it stay on good? Not fall apart?
Thank you.
Andy
