Figured Eucaluptus table by @shibuistyle

Check out this piece of eucalyptus that sold yesterday.

How about that edge? Talk about unique texture!

Could watch this open and close all day... Repost @tempestfurniture

45" x 120" Parota dining table sanded and ready for the spray booth over at Timeless Wood Products (San Diego, CA)

Should look amazing once it's finished! 

Repost @instagram We just had a walk-in client show this to us and ask if the wood table was made of Wenge. Hard to tell but it sure does look like it, don't you think?

Anyways, we had a fun time coming up with several species that have similar grain to this (many of which could be stained black to give this exact look)

Here's what we came up with (any other guesses?) #Wenge #oak #lati #pangapanga #rengas #sucupira #machiche #partridgewood #guyavillanegra #exoticwood

Ziricote or Cocobolo?

Tough decision!
