With this wood it is possible to manufacture a handle as desired. 1 block contains enough wood for 2 traditional Japanese handles.
Sheesham wood is also known as Indian Rosewood. The official name of sheesham wood is Dalbergia Sissoo. The wood comes from India and Pakistan. The density, hardness and color intensity are slightly lower than other rosewoods. Despite this, the wood is highly regarded in India and is considered to be very valuable wood.
