Marblewood Handles

I recently bought a small sample of Marblewood. I had never used it before and was curious about it. It is a yellowish colored wood with orange to brown streaks literally marbled through the wood. It is a very dense wood, is a little difficult to work with and is hard on the tools. Here I have one A-2 style handle done. I have enough wood to make a total of four. If anyone is interested in one or more, they are $35 each. If someone wants all four, I'll discount that. Here is some pictures of the finished handle and the raw wood.
