I ordered five of these and all are very nice and uniform. Bubinga is something I am sure to work with more.

The product was great, but what I liked mostly is customer service. The time you e-mailed me conformation of the order
and the time I had the order in my mail box was impressive, super fast. I will order again with 100% confidence and will recommend your company to friends and associates.

I love working with bubinga especially finishing it. Of the 4 orders I've received from woodworker source, none were below my expectations.
