I knew Wenge outer plies look incredible, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that I love it on handles too! :)

Mr. Levi made ST handle with 29mm wideness/23mm thickness or 28mm wideness/24mm thicness.
But if you want can make a special order at 29mm wideness/24mm thickness if you have big hands.

What was the idea here of using Makore as outer ply and what are its characteristics? I have never heard of this wood and had to google it. It seems fairly hard.
The idea was to Mr. Levi and Makore has characteristics between limba and koto. Makore it's very good as outer ply.
