comments: The chechem in views 1 and 6 are both nicely chatoyant as is the zebrawood in view 4. The limba in view 2 is mostly dark "black limba" but has an interestingly-grained slice of "white limba" sapwood at the outer rim as you can see in view 3a below. The purpleheart in view 1 is a particularly rich color.
