HWolfe review of recent order
I ordered Canary Wood, Satinwood Brazil, and Bloodwood. The 8/4 canary wood was exceptional. I have already used some to make tapered legs and it was beautiful and wonderful to work with. The 4/4 canary wood and yellowheart were all that I expected. The bloodwood, I would rate fair. The shortest piece (only 36")was very warped. The other two pieces were a little warped, but OK. Since I need a couple of very small pieces for the center of a table design, I have been able to use the warped piece in six inch cuts. Incidentally, the bloodwood was also barely 3/4", too thin to plane it to get rid of the warping. I will probable use the jointer to plane it level, but it won't be any thicker than 1/2". Overall I was pleased with the order. The legs of my table are gorgeous.

Great wood
No obvious defects. It had a slight bow to it but that can't be criticized coming from AZ to such a humid state as LA. The only issue I had was one end has a very thick coat of some sticky substance. I didn't like it but it's not hurting because I have to mill it down a bit more anyway.
