Snakewood
Just arrived the other week. A small half log 12" long x 4" x 2" deep. One 1" square x 12" long blank and 44 3/4" blanks. It has been cut for one year. Have turned on down it has very tight pattern and amazing colour.
The first image I have just put some EEE on it. Second image is the same but me playing with daylight filter and the third image is just after it was turned to round. Last image is my Snakewood stash.
