    Default Waterfall bubinga

    Saw these two photo's on a local timber merchants website and just had to share. How's the figure on this! Breathtaking.

    The owner of the timber mill took the photos while on a trip to China, he says the price was something like USD200 000 / m3

    The true waterfall stuff is truly beautiful stuff and it's not cheap. Cook Woods have had a fair bit over the years but these days more just figured Bubinga rather than the gorgeous waterfall stuff. Looking back although expensive at the time, they probably would have been a good investment, like the Snakewood blocks I scored ~7(?) years ago for $200 that are now worth $1000 each
