... the beauty of exotic woods, as I have been involved with knife and guns collecting and shooting for decades.
Goncalo Alvez was de "official" wood used by S&W for their "target" stocks in their top of the line revolver models some years ago for their hardness and beautiful color with black streaks contrast. It is also used in custom knife handles as well. Purpleheart also has an stunning color for same use. Beautifui objects can be made with these superb woods and these cues are great examples.
Enjoy them so much!! Cheers! Abel.

. . . designing a strap. I'm thinking deep brown croc, but open to suggestions. I was able to source a pink gold '60s vintage Omega buckle from a watchmaker's estate. That's a far more difficult endeavor than one might imagine. Authentic examples are near...
Well, all is not entirely well yet, Abel, as neither my watchmaker . . .

So happy for you that this Omega found its way you. "I have not seen such a watch before. Two tone, rose /steel." was my initial thinking. Big congrats to such a find and thank you for this well thought post with a musical background, that fits beautifull...
