Very nice, I would say that is my favorite wood, after snakewood []
I have one glued up on my table now.

That wood is truly beautiful. Nice work. That wood is definately fitting of the nice kit. I resized your photo. I hope you don't mind.

You did great on the kit. The wood is wonderful. Was it a freebie, cause the only freebies I have ever gotten from BB was two 5/8 solid color acrylic blanks. Maybe I have to spend more to get the good stuff.

I must not be spending enough either Johnny. Great job on the pen. I'm starting to regret not getting in on the emporer bulk buy.

This week was my first to turn Anboyna Burl----gee I never knew wood could be this awesome. Your finish is perfect---GREAT job

No, not a freebie, although I have received many real nice freebies from BB. It was stabalized and turned like a dream.- Chris

Me too, Fred! Especially now that SWCTM has cut off my buying.[!]

Very nice pen! I love Amboyna![^]

It really is one of the most rewarding woods to turn! On BB's freebie's, I always get pieces I am extremely happy to get -- usually rare and desireable woods that are locally available to AZ (without going into detail). The funny thing is I ALWAYS forget about the freebies until I am opening the box and it is like Christmas everytime!
