Sheaok---- Color range is golden orange to red-orange to nearly burgundy. Not as heavy and hard as oak (the Englsh settlers declared it weaker than English oak but similar so "She-oak"). Used in furniture and flooring (and in the past, beer barrels). Sheoak grows primarily in a small area on the south coast of Southwest Western Australia. Trees with a "lace" appearance are very rare- about 1 in 100 trees. Bird's eye lace is extremely rare- less than 25 small pieces came to the US in the last three years.

1 Durability refers to a wood's resistance to rotting in wet environments.
 
Looks great Art- another beautiful knife that will be admired by new owner for years. On the sheath- did you wait to touch up top edge? (testing us again?)
 
Yep I didn't see that in the picture till I had boxed up the knife to ship . I had to re-stain that edge .
