Almost bought a few blanks of this stuff a while back just because of its other name. Rengas Tiger. Might have to revisit the idea after seen this.

Would like a shot with a little more lighting so we can really see the grain. Great little vase!

That is just to cool Jeremy. Really nice looking mini.

Oh wow, I totally ignored the flower in the beginning and missed just how small that thing is. Very neat.

Cool little, and I mean little!, vase, Jeremy! That wood is known for being a bad irritant - be careful with it!

A great vase and yes the sap can be real bad,.

Wow, I guess I'll count myself lucky my skin didn't melt off. I've yet to find a wood I'm sensitive to, and I've handled many, many in the course of penmaking the past 18 months. I'm sure that'll change with further exposure over the years.
