Thanks, Ive done some woodworking in the past when i was younger. But having these exotic woods in hand and seeing them is exciting. they really are nuts compared to the average wood at a lumber mill.
Ill add some more pics later before i ship off some wood to Bob.
Theres an amazing piece of sapele in the garage that i havent unwrapped yet.

It is piece 201 that i have. I noticed on your cue it is much more of a brown color, does it darken with finish? I assume you didnt stain it.
Dan
I don't stain.
I did a favor for someone and he sent me two squares as a gift.

Well i took pics then put them back in the box for later. but ill wash my hands, thanks for the warning.
Can you describe what was entailed in importing it?
Have friends in a number of countries in eastern Europe, but 1.) didn't realize what spectacular wood was there/did not visit wood shops; & 2.) have always had the impression that going to the IRS for a root canal and proctology exam was less painful & had better odds for success than importing raw lumber in small quantities into the US? Was there subterfuge involved? have i been misinformed? or is there a simple process?
