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 is a lot of great figure to this piece! Depending on the face you are looking at, there is either quiltting or fiddleback!.Very unique piece!
