    Default Aussie Blackwood

    A little box I made to compliment the Rasp knife I made as a gift for my brother last Xmas.

    The box and knife handle scales are from Australian Blackwood. Inlays and mitre keys are Mahogany.

    Hope you enjoy.

    Cheers
    Jacques

    Blackwood is a fabulous timber, and you have shown it off very nicely in this box.

    Looks really nice and a beautiful job on the knife too. I assume you did all the cutout to house the knife as well.
    When I was in your part of the world I was told that Blackwood is pretty readily available as the growing conditions are right for it. Is this correct?
