They look really great Tom! I especially like the picture of them with the Pink Eucalyptus because it shows the incredible figure the Birdseye has. Nice KB grips too with the inlay. You've got a nice collection going!

The roasted Maple is heated at a low temperature in a kiln. We buy it that way, though John sometimes does his own which gives the wood a slight sandy color. The low heat brings out the depth, figure and chatoyance in the wood. The roasted Maple is really unreal to look at in person; incredibly pretty!
