I seem to spend as much time checking out whats in the back ground as I do the subject of the pics. That is some interesting grain I hope there are alot of the boards that way.

Some great looking timber. I guess it has the rosewood smell when worked.

Looks very similar to Canarywood. Any relation? Canary comes from South America. It looks almost identical.
