    got lucky once again (samples)

    Late last year when I was pretty sure I wouldn't be getting any more batches of samples for the site, my friend David Clark in Australia decided to do a book on rosewoods and had about 3 dozen rosewood samples sent to me and while he was ordering them, he also picked up a couple dozen more samples of other woods.

    Then my friend Mark Peet down in PA got in a big new batch for his collection and let me pick the ones that I wanted to process for the site.

    So ... three nice batches with about 100 samples total. I'm particularly happy to get the rosewoods 'cause the samples are expensive and I buy VERY few of those on my own. These have all been processed now and most of them are already up on the site.

    I didn't spend any time on these pics, so they're a bit washed out. All the samples in the 3rd pic are rosewoods

    I think we're missing a bit of info. What site are you talking about?

    Took me a moment to make the connection.

    Paul's website: http://www.hobbithouseinc.com

    His "exotic wood" page has photos of wood samples, including end grain.
    You want "Yew"? Asian, English, Pacific, or misc?

    Fun to look through if trying to ID a piece of dunno,

    Sorry, all the other sites I'm on allow links in your signature so I keep forgetting that this site is unfriendly and doesn't allow that.
