Thanks fallguy! Sometimes you wonder if anyone is enjoying the pics or not. Glad to hear you like them. There are so many beautiful woods around the world that most people have no clue exist. Woods don't have to be from some foreign country to be "exotic" either, you can find an odd board in woods that we consider bland and normal like oak - a special board that exhibits very unusual characteristics for that wood. You just have to look for it, and most people don't want to bother.
Anyway, here are some woods that will be shown here throughout next week that are in the shop right now:
Curly Pradauk
Macassar Ebony
Moradillo
Black Limba
Jarrah
I'm sure there will be others, but those are on the drawing board to start this weekend. That Macassar Ebony is going to be a treat for the eyes as it's a very unusual block. The crosscutting shows a pattern that seems 3 separate offshoots grew out and left a striking pattern. I guess that'll give people something to look forward to.
Thanks again for the kind words, glad you enjoy it!
