so i grabbed as much as i could get in the rain and mud and should have got more …but was not dressed for wood gathering ….excuses excuses excuses !!!
Anyway ….I do not know what kinda wood it is …and i need all my LJ friends wood brains to tell me what you

Oh Man is that place cool ….They had Bubinga 18 ft long. and Wenge boards stacks of it and so many more i could not possibly remember any more … ...and they had these pieces so wide and so long and thick that you would only see it in a Corporate Board Room …oh my so Being addicted to wood ….. I did buy a 4 ft piece of Bubinga ….I will get a pic of it tomorrow …and show all.

So my friends what does one make with 48” x 10.5” x 3/4” piece of Bubinga ….
I mean its Bubinga …

So who else uses what and what works for all the LJ sawyers …..
thanks …I will take your answers off the air …
