Wow!
Just Wow!
That is gorgeous work and PF is not easy to work with. Wonderful material, heavy, dense, and surprisingly chippy when working it.
Was that wood an option on the original table,
Pau Ferro is not a true rosewood, but is often advertised as "Bolivian Rosewood" and it is a good representation to Brazilian when finished as in the table. It is probably harder than BR, or seems so to me. Brazilian is almost impossible to get in those sizes, enough for a complete table. PF does smell like Cocobola which is a true rosewood. I believe the original Centennials could be had with rosewood rails. Never looked quite that good, though.
I've got a pile of PF stashed for rails on a 1927 BBC that has split rosewood rail caps on it. Don't imagine it will come out as good as table shown, but what an inspiration if i can ever get to it!
