If I already had one that looks a whole lot like the piece of wood on the right, I'd use the piece of wood on the left.Here is a pic of my current pinch and potential new pinch blocks!
Thats a nice quandry to be in right there. Both blocks would produce something spectacular, but that block on the left is stunning!!!
btw, congrats on Mom's good news...

That has been my quandary since the ironwood block arrived. Didn't realize how close it was, but really it's only in strong light that it looks so close. My Rosewood burl pinch looks very brown indoors and the ironwood yellows come out well indoors.
The white teak, while beautiful, will look like pretty much every other white teak pinch made. Not that it is a bad thing by any means. But the ironwood is the most different looking ironwood piece I have seen to date. ARGH!!!

I'll start my next 7 day break after this Thursday and will finish up the last mod which wasn't pre-sold. If anyone's interested the mod is $500 plus shipping for standard aluminum fire button or $575 plus shipping for your choice of wood button and matching tip. They come with a DNA40 large screen, but after the dna60 becomes available I'll most likely offer a plug and play upgrade. But the usb will not be easy access as it takes 6 screws to access board, so would only be an upgrade for folks who just updated firmware or tweak rarely.
But again, this is the one and only aluminum GDNA left as these will not be made again. Too expensive and having to sell at costs now.

Hey _J
Great news about your back and your Mom
I've eyed (what I think is) that same block of teak and if I remember correctly it's big enough for a Nutter. Me personally, golden teak Nutter but I'm loving the ironwood too. If you go with the ironwood, it has a great look and feel with an oil/wax finish which would also set it apart even more from that beautiful rosewood.
Decisions, decisions...
That's so funny, as I was just saying that exact same thing to BobC last night chatting. The Teak is thicker if I wanted a dual battery mod, but I have no idea if I do or not.....LoL. But personally, as for oil wax, this ironwood has tons of figuring in the light color section which stays much sharper with glossed CA. Never been big on oil / wax personally as I enjoy the look and protection of CA.Hey _J

Thanks for everyone's input. Lots of good info and opinions. Luckily there's plenty of time to decide.

Damn I hate you. Now you really have me thinking of using the second block for a Nutter.Hey _J
