Been working through the last of a log from 2009, which has been yielding these good clean claro sets for many years. Many are cut for interesting albeit unfigured grain movement, some take advantage of pockets of figure here and there, and others are just straight up and straight forward. They all have rich milk chocolaty color, most with some wisps and streaks of various reds and purples. Good wood all the way around!
