I have to agree, you want a wood that has a neutral ph and has been kiln dried for some time - should not be green at all.

yeah, I'll bring you a copy, I'll even autograph it. :D What suprised me about Thierry's was the back, being concave, onto the monkey/shikami, I wonder if these became tourist pieces when Japan was opened up? I have seen various examples of your's as well. BTW, I have deceided to stick to the koi I have in my pond and move on to demons and devils.

I have actually heard poplar is very similar to ho wood.

I should have bought them both from Barry when I had the chance at Tampa last year. But I also bought a Yoshimichi katana in goto mounts and a sukashi chrysanthamum tsuba to match. I am looking for arrow bundle menuki, and oni f/k to put a daisho together. Don't worry milt a day does not go by that I don't look at your stuff...

Well, here is a tsuba, and what I would consider its match that was discussed on another thread. Milt, John, and Barry all discussed this tsuba on the right, formerly owned by Jim Gilbert. Please take alook at the image showing front and reverse of both. Now, what school are these? Mito? Any background. They would look awesome on a daisho
