Comment by AGP # on Tuesday: "Thanks 'UJ' & Doug", depending on what part of the Log your using, sometimes the grain in Camphor Laurel Wood can be a bit plain, but when you do get the darker grain tones, it's best described as stunning, currently in the process of milling some more Camphor logs, with the help of a Chain Saw, Hand Saw, Hand Planer, Router and Belt Sander, and it does involve a bit of work, as the Pic would suggest :-D

Comment by Uncle John on Monday: I like that body and wood tones too. Another good one.

Comment by Doug Thorsvik on Sunday: I especially like the body on this one Alan! The wood grain is killer.
