>Chisels are LN and they were bought last year with hophornbeam handles. Length of the chisels were little too short for me. These handles are Siamese Rosewood (Dalbergia Beriensis). I just love the way they feel.

BTW, An original Stanley 750 there with same wood in original shape but not oiled, lacquered(Turner's polish). Note the light color.
