Hello SSG: How big a blank might you need? I have some very strange reddish wood,in planks(short) also dim. 3x4x36, HARD as hell,interesting figure as it hides in rough stage and first sand,then finish sand; it shows flecks and dots! apply oil or varnish,really gets lively. I have laminated some to a pattern mahogony stock,the mah.is very stable but weak as to spiltting with grain.I also subdue the stain as it can get really RED brown.Will try to get pics,oh the source is a series of pallets from a local industry,tropical hardwood.air dried but no checks or spilts. Not reactionary either,stays in place,Heavy also,heavier than oak,beech others natives.Dick Stack
