Clarence,

Yes sir, two great products by two excellent craftsmen.  I had originally asked for Macassar Ebony with Bocote when I ordered the Thermal.  But when it came time for it to be built, Ric told me he couldn't get a hold of good Macassar.  He suggested the Ziricote.

Some bowyers, Bob Morrison for example, no longer offer it as an optional wood.  When James contacted me about building a knife for me to match the Thermal, I said sure!  I'm glad I did!
