This rare and very beautiful Brazilian species has a range of figure from subtle to Exhibition and Museum grade. Cut from wax sealed cants that have air dried slowly for 1-1/2 years (April 2016), pieces still may contain residual moisture. All blanks are wax sealed on ends or completely wax sealed. Enjoy working this extraordinary species! There are some surface checks on the numbered face of this piece, up to 6" long and 1/8" deep.
