Lovely piece of wood but wenge is still my favourite!! odd??
I guess here the beauty is in the eye of the beholder....
I think the aspect of beauty is always relative to the beholder of the wood,
I truly love that brair root burl, but also love Wenge lovely wood but I think I still have to stick with the Lapland curly birch to satisfy my niche ( if I am using that correctly in that sentence, am I?)
But i would love to use some of that Briar root some day in my life for a nice handle for a filleting knife perhaps, That would be lovely
Yours sincerely Ruud
