Sorry I got off the subject
To those that provided good info and pics, thank you.
I did forget to add that apparently the spalted wood in my Q handle must have been "cross cut" as the designs are not long as in the pic of that beautiful guitar. The designs on the handle are more roundish, oval, oblong, not long, running the length of the handle as in the guitar. If I ever get some pics, I'll post them here. Thanx for the constructive info.
