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!
