I am a THE virgin and have never seen it in person until a recent trip to local mill. I bought 3 boards that were very rough cut and when I brought them back yo the shop and cleaned them up I was pleasantly surprised by the colors, grain formation and swirls. I believe that some of what I'm seeing is the beginning stages of burl formation but I'm still a newbie army this so this is why I'm posting some pictures and someone might be able to answer a few questions.
1. Is the orange gold streams something that is less desirable than the red or does that even matter?
2. On the close up that is the beginning of burl format right?
3. Is this a good representation ofFBE ? And at $20 a board is that somrthing worth going back and picking up a couple more?.
Also any other information about the that you think would be helpful would be appreciated.
Thanks
