I like ‘em!

Her ... don’t know why you guys don’t like WOOD!!! Looks pretty sweet to me!

I agree
Them there parts look great ! Can you explain the grain in the Koa? It looks like it goes both directions. I did some research on google and I see they call it tiger wood for a good reason. What I read talks about it being a perfect wood due to the excellent climate in Hawaii. You said this was Brazilian. I do like the pieces you picked .

Thanks

Hi Kurt.

It’s also native to Hawaii.

It’s one of the most dense of woods.

Also known by the name of Goncalo Alves. Used to be prized for hair brush handles.

Only about 10% has a “Curly” grain. It’s like Curly Maple.

This wood is prized for a Deep reddish brown color with dark brown accents.

It’s so hard you can just sand and polish. It doesn’t need a “finish”.

I see it as the top drawer of WOOD

Best,
Gary
