This company has all their wood slabs on sale this weekend for 10% off, plus free shipping. There are several Indian rosewood slabs that are quite reasonable and look to me like they would cut up into many knife or pistol grip slabs which would make the cost per set very reasonable. I have nothing to do with this company, this is posted for info purposes only.

Nice wood!

Well, I finally broke down and ordered on Memorial day evening, one sla, about $75 with discount, and it turned out it had been sold in store. Owner was very nice about it and offered my my pick of several slabs that cost nearly twice as much for no additional charge. But, since I was looking for interesting grain flow, and most of them didn't have enough of it to suit me, I just passed. But the owner really went out of his way to try to make me happy. I'm not unhappy, stuff happens, and he did his best to make it right. I'd recommend this site.
