Could be, Dubie:
I have bought it at various shows for a good many years, from several different sources and never seen any with "knots" (or burls, if you will). I can only go by what I have had experience with. I bought 12 pieces from the Keys 2 years ago, at the "Guild" show, when I met Tom & you there. It was delivered to me from a customer in Longboat Key...It still didn't have the 2-tone coloring, or grain and color of this #19.
It's all good. I am certainly not the "answer grape" on all types of wood. I'll await the stuff from you. I am hoping you're correct, as it would be nice to see some lignum vitae with "figure".
Best, Capt. Chris
