I saw these pictures on a website that I frequent that carries figured hardwoods, mostly maple. This piece of wood was described as "Anegre is an African wood that is about the same density as maple.....if not a little more. It stains and works similar to maple. Surfaced two face, no knots and absolutely beautiful." This piece listed for $375.00, so it must be pretty rare. Thought I would share it with my fellow Creekers so you can say "yea, I've seen that" when some smarty-pants brings it up at a WW show or some other forum!!!
