Wow, I was stopped in my tracks at the sight of some new wood coming in from our main Maple supplier this week. Here's a peek at the Quilted Maple:

So juicy!

And a little of the Spalted Maple:
wood
Check out the flame figure - amazing!

It will be a little while before we can dedicate time to slicing for bookmatches, but we're really lucky that they hold on to the wood and season it at their place until we need it, so we don't have to wait too long before we can dive into it.

I just had to share. Have a great weekend.
