All pieces Dried. Super tough to get pieces with this high grade figure. Many or all were soaked in superglue that was then sanded off. Great pieces!

Notes: GG grade for: 11,12,13 / GG+ grade for: 14,15,16,17 and GG- for 18

Desert Acacia with a good quilt/curl figure. Desert Acacia is virtually unknown on the market and is more dense and finer grained then most acacias we've seen. Also, the salmon orange color is not like the various browns we tend to think of for Acacia. We are looking for the botanical name and will put it here if we can find it. Very uncommon, we don't expect another board in this. The picture above shows all of them in stock, so you will get one shown above at random.

Curacao de negro is an unusual Central American/South American wood that has a very high density and very fine grain. Another unusual property of this wood is the color change. Wood that is not exposed to light is an orange/tan color. This color changes relatively quickly to a charcoal color as seen in the photo. If you want to change the color, finish final sanding and then expose the wood to direct sunlight. Sunlight through a window may or may not work. We changed ours in a matter of about 8 hours of sun exposure. This is probably Swartzia leiocalycina. Only 19 available.
