Canarywood Handle Scales x 2

Canarywood Knife Scales

Canarywood or Canary wood is a South American wood, growing from Panama down to Brazil with a easily recognisable fragrance. Even dry blocks of wood have a pleasent smell. (these smell amazing in my opinion << Bjorn)

Machines, glues and finishes well despite the somewhat oily feel. Can vary somewhat in colour from yellow to brown, through orange/ochre tones and sometimes even rainbow-like streaks in the wood. Is said to have good acoustic properties and used in some string instruments (ref: The Wood Database)

This is a set of 2 scales, each 10 x 40 x 120 mm in size, dry and ready to use with waxed ends.

Note the rough blocks have an almost green hue to them that is not present in the completed, sanded and sealed wood. (See photo of completed and sealed handle)
