Probably because that's what it is. I've only got the one piece, but more is readily available. This is wide enough for a bookmatch to center Small Standard body - but not long enough for an Essence or other shape with an extended upper horn. palembic Senior Member Username: palembic Post Number: 2012 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 17, 2005 - 4:44 am:    Very nice indeed!

This looks like it has little blood vessels under the surface. ("Yes, music is my lifes blood and fine wood is close to my heart.") Mike P.S. - Camphor is a medicinal smell, yes? effclef Advanced Member Username: effclef Post Number: 336 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Tuesday, May 17, 2005 - 11:30 am:    It looks like raindrops falling in a wooden pond!

I'm not really digging it, but maybe someone else would. bluplirst Intermediate Member Username: bluplirst Post Number: 133 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Tuesday, November 01, 2011 - 5:59 pm:    boobs...sorry! billostech Advanced Member Username: billostech Post Number: 220 Registered: 1-2011 Posted on Wednesday, November 02, 2011 - 6:39 am:    I just got a non Alembic made out of camphor.
