I have a hunk of padouk right here. What size do you need?

It's possible to imitate that wood look on standard metal:

I don't need any right now. I found a block of Indian Rosewood on ebay since I couldn't find anything else and hopefully it'll be here soon. When I use up the rosewood I'll definitely pm you though and hope that you'll still have some left. But don't save any on my account. Thanks for the offer though.
