Stabilized Handle Wood Comparison

Just a short video to show the differences in stabilized woods from home stabilizers (all of them that I have experience with anyhow), versus woods stabilized professionally at K&G. I also want to point out that while I mention Mark at Burl Source many times, that's simply because the piece of wood I'm comparing came from him. I've had just as good an experience with Myron at Dream Burls, Arizona Ironwood LLC, and Craig Stevens on eBay. The point of the video is simply that home stabilization is rarely a viable option when compared to professional stabilization, particularly on a handle subjected to heat, humidity, or oils (I make kitchen knives almost exclusively). This conclusion has been echoed to me by every single craftsman I've ever met that deals with stabilized wood. All of that said, this handle did turn out beautifully...but the amount of work that I had to go through to make it happen is highly counter productive.
