Dark_Lightning Never heard the term "torrefied" before, so I had to look it up. Most interesting. Nice looking handles!
Thanks Dark_Lightning! Torrefaction yields results with Maple that sort of makes it look like walnut. It's beautiful. It has a toasty smell and goes away when you put any finish on it. Lee Valley often sells chunks of it. I don't know when they sell it. It's now and then but their customer service would tell you.
