Hi Guys! This is a piece of black palm I found. I sawed across the grain and with the grain to show the different patterns. It's a beauty in it's on right. With the grain Against the grain If that were not enough, it's covered in shiny gold Marcasite crystals on the back. Hope you enjoy! Curt

You know, Curt, it doesn't look any better on this Board than it did on that other one. I still need to see this up close and personal so I can tender my most sincere appraisal of this gorgeous specimen. Did you get my address yet? Have you carefully wrapped it in bubblewrap? Is it in the mail? Hmmmmm??
