Bonkanon here. Today we'll be making ceremonial Mesoamerican weapons. This project is a bit different than normal--instead of whatever I had lying around, I sourced nice materials.

The board at the back is Leopardwood. The one in front with the purple tint is a really nicely figured piece of Katalox. These are both extremely hard, dense, wood. Three blocks at the back are bloodwood. The 1/4 log next to it is Snakewood, which is even harder and denser than the above. The two long pieces are Bocote.
