About the photos & sizing

• Photos show the species after cutting, sanding to 320, and buffing (Beall system). Your pair will be from the same or similar stock — photos are for reference.
• Measurements are approximate and may vary by about ±1/8". Need a tighter tolerance? Message us when you order.
• Need a different size or shape? Message us — custom cuts are often available.

As always, I select and hand cut each item from larger stock. You won't get anything I would not want for myself.
