Wood porn on a Monday??? Hey Joey

[greyghost]

I've been meaning to post this one for a while. I've had it for 14 years
Bois de Rose aka Madagascar Rosewood.
I'm obviously not the photographer some of you are.

Did you save the dust? I’m down for an 8 ball

No, I just sanded down the outside skin to show the red color underneath.

Scored these roasted curly / birdseye maple for what felt like free.

Be careful what you put it near on your cue it's bleeding crimson heavy in contact with anything resembling a solvent including epoxy.

Yes. There are different levels of "roast" if you will, but that's what it looks like prior to turning round.

In my opinion, the medium roast, such as what's shown above, have the most chatoyance after finishing. The figure shimmers nicely with minimal effort. Compare this against regular curly maple where you need to dye/oil/sand for maximum effect.
