Billy, those handles look absolutely stunning!

One observation about thuya, and I say that as a knifemaker. This wood is certainly beautiful. But it is a conifer, like redwood and in my experience it has a tendency to become "dirty" in use, unless it is very well treated with wax or Danish oil or something like that. For a "user" it would not be my first choice. For a safe queen, great. My 2c
