Wow! I really like your style. You seem to also have access to some beautiful wood. I think my favorite is the white paper San-mai with olive. Nicely done and thanks for sharing!

thank you. i collect wood for years (harvest my own, change different type of woods with a few friends and i am buying from time to time) and about a few moths ago i was cleaning in my stash and i made happy a few friends.

I really like that higonokami. I love the hammered look and colors of that handle.
