Hi peoples

Has anyone used this timber before? Nedun (Pericopsis mooniana)

A friends parents had their furniture crated up in it when they immigrated to Oz 40 years ago

He's given me 3 sticks and I've machined one up and its stunning,
chocolate brown, fiddleback on the quarter and nice picture on the crown
Not unlike Blackwood

Think it's time to start a new acoustic build :D

Cheers
Hank
