    Excellent work on Chatoyance measurements and the website on your results.

    I mostly work (woodturn) with our Australian Blackwood (Acacia Melanoxoylon) and I know from experience the striking chatoyance it exhibits, so I looked that up and, yes, it is way up there at the top of your species list...

    For those who are not familiar with the term... it comes from French, "œil de chat", cat's eye.
    You will be happy to hear that our current most chatoyant sample [by far, among about 2000 samples] is an acacia melanoxylon sample with over 35 PZC

    Yes, very happy to hear that your test results have confirmed that.

    I put my hand up to send you samples of some of our other woods, but workshop time has been taken up with back orders for the gallery, so I didn't make it in time to add to the other samples that are on their way to you.

    Thanks for the update Paolo.

    Regards
    Stay sharp and stay safe!

    What an awesome curl!
    We still have no Acacia Celsa samples at all, so yours would be very appreciated!

    No, unfortunately, I haven't been able to fit in the time to put my samples together and to get them away to Clear Out or directly to you. Still a bit away off at this stage.
    Stay sharp and stay safe!

    No problem at all... I am still thinking and worrying about the endless list of Acacias that live on your continent!

    Around 1000 species occur in the Great Southern Land Paolo

    What a rich genus Acacia is...with many species here producing the most delightful timber.

    Have milled some breathtakingly beautiful Melanoxylon in the past however Celsa is my favourite for figure and colour

    As a standing tree it is imposing too

    For those that love wood...we are the 'lucky country'

    Here's some Melanoxylon the I milled some moons ago
