comments: The zebrawood in the BOX started off with a very nice flat cut grain pattern but in the final turning, so much of the darker grain disappeared that it doesn't even look like zebrawood and you can see this by comparing the two pics at the very bottom of this page.

The tulipwood in view 4 is gorgeous, but then tulipwood almost always is. The cocobolo in view 2 is excellent and the osage orange in view 6 is highly chatoyant. The ebony veneer backed curly mahogay in view 8 looks terrific. The oxhorn in view 5 is lightly curly and the silky oak in view 6 is nicely chatoyant.
