Tasmanian Rose Myrtle Before & After

Sometimes its hard to visualize what the figure will look like an certain specific pieces.

These small #B Rose Myrtle Slabs continue to amaze us everytime we start to surface one

As you can see below this is what slab #B5 looked like straight out of the 40 foot container from Australia.

This is what it looks like after the edges have been trimmed & its been sanded to 60 grit using a Wide Belt Sander.


Look at all the different figure throughout the piece.

The dark streaks were barely noticeable before and look at all the curly figure down the right side of the board.


Here is a shot of the piece with a little denatured alcohol to emulate a finish.

Please keep in mind this is just to 60 grit. all the figure will continue to jump out even more as the piece is sanded thoroughly.


If you like this piece we still have a handful from the same batch remaining
