Does anyone have any knives with stabilized wood? Where is the best place to buy some handle material?
Several material suppliers set up booths at the Blade Show in Atlanta in June.
One of the bigger setups is Masecraft, they also have a website:

If you go through a dealer, they can walk you through the size requirements. In the Randall ordering questions" thread the sizing sheet on Randall letterhead was posted (several times, actually). As soon as I find the specific post I'll update this one.
