    Yup! I like adding the figured part in as often as possible! Gives it character! Thanks guys. I'll tell ya though I was surprised how hard this wood really was. Like stone. So dense it sinks!

    Hell yes!!! but it does not smell as bad as the horn. BTW if anyone has smelled sanded amboyna burl you know how wonderful it is. I take my respirator off once in awhile just to smell it! If they make a soap with it i'm there! Glen you in here? Back me up on this!!!

    I have heard many stories. It seems that the patterns in exotic woods are made by microbes. These are released into the air as the wood is worked. Bad stuff, my man! I would skip the smell test! JMHO! Should be some experts along any time!

    thats for wood that is figured such as bubinga etc. a burl is just a growth in the wood. regular amboyna smells the same also! all wood has it's own smell when sanded. love it!!
