Very nice, Del.

What is it about the South American woods? I've made several things with purpleheart (also Brazilian), and the stuff is really dense. I made a small plant stand, and almost split a gut hauling it out of the shop!

Very NICE, Del!

I have some Jatoba too... real heavy stuff... did you have any trouble milling the wood? ... beads n all the fine cuts?

Aren't they pretty heavy?

Should last a life-time!

Thank you for sharing...

Very nice Del. Hope whoever does the vacuuming appreciates that bottom shelf & avoids sideswiping it. A very handsome piece.

Very nice work, I never had the opportunity to work with wood from South America. Sounds interesting, I'll have to give it a try
