the wood is as advertised, very pretty. However, mine was really beat up. in fact it had been dropped so hard that there we rocks imbedded in the wood at points. the wood is hard enough that this would take some big-time impact. so much to for the velvet chariot! lots of edges really chewed up. i worked around most of it and my project is coming along, but I would have to think hard about the shipping issues if I were to do this again.

Sorry about that David. Shipping can be hard on the packages from time to time, but we do work hard to protect your wood. Because of that, I'd like to send you some replacement material and post a claim with UPS. Give us a call at 800-423-2450 so we can get it straightened out for you!

I only wish there was a way to keep that bright orange. Turns dark within a few months after finishing.

Sure it's a beautiful wood, but there are two things I don't like about it. First is that you have to be very careful if you glue this wood to something lighter, like maple. When you sand it, the dust can actually color the other wood. Second, it's imperative you wear a dust mask or even better a respirator. It's listed as a sensitizer on a lot of toxic wood lists. Otherwise, yes, it's a beautiful wood.
