Like that snakewood a lot!  The bocote is a CLOSE # 2 as well.

Those look awesome Skull!!!  How hard was it to work that snakewood?  I have some but haven't used it yet.  Any tips?  I think its gonna burn kinda easy (oily) like p-heart.

Pretty dense wood...BURNS VERY EASILY!!!! LOL! If you use a sander go slow with fairly coarse belts and finish it by hand sanding. The Bocote is awesome...I'll get some closer pics of the handles and post them.
