This is probably the third of fourth time I have come across both curly and Birdseye in the same board, it sure has a wow look in the sunlight. I have three other boards 10' long but what's amazing is they are 10" wide which is rare in itself to find a board that wide and have birdseye all the way across or even curly for that matter....going to keep the rest for a special family project.
Talk about a bear to work with, even with sharp spirals tear out galore so I had to resort to the performax and hand tools.....it was worth the hassle now that it's done....two cremation boxes with removable bottoms, 12 wX 8d X 7 3/4"H, Caboa inlay.
Finish is BLO, sit for three days, Sheliac, Lacquer then buffed with french polish, man is it ever smooth:)
Thanks for looking!
