Beautiful wood
I ordered this online and I got a very pretty piece of wood - not something full of knots or holes or splinters. It's planed to a glass-like feel. It is heavy, dense, and definitely a hardwood. I might make a cutting board with it, or I might just put it on my desk to look at! Haha I also got a 3-piece set of Padauk, Beli, and Movingue wood; the Purpleheart looks soo pretty next to the grain on the red Padauk and brown Beli.
