Not my favourite 'wood' to work with, had it on the shelf for many years, need not have bothered to get it in the first place, all saw dust and no shavings.
Finishes up so dark the extensive figuring is lost unless examined close up, finished with friction polish.

A bit more figuring to show, not much easier to handle on the cutting front being such a soft fibrous wood.

Using up the slab leftovers rather than adding them to the 'oddments' boxes.
Added a Tint to the Sanding Sealer with this piece to bring out the figuring a little more.

Something a little more heavyweight to add to the batch of fruit bowls requested, had forgotten how heavy some of these red woods are, now realise why I stacked the slabs upright in the store instead of on the shelves.

A couple of very nice pieces Chas. Just out of interest what did you tint the SS with on the Pot Porri piece.

I have in the past used artist oil paints which gives a slight colour tinge to the piece
 
New this stuff was vicious on the colour front from past pieces, this piece from current stock slab did not fail to live up to its reputation.

If anyone wants to do a Quality Control Audit of their dust extraction systems turning and sanding a piece of this stuff is as good as anything to test it.

Gorgeous warm colour and grain there, Chas. That is nice. Beautiful profile too.
Was the wood wet? I guess not from the comment about dust.
What sort of wood is it?
Many thanks.

No, very dry, wavy edge plank/slab purchased dry in excess of 5 years ago and been in my store since.

As per the image caption " Pau Rosa 200mm diam."
 
Doh!!! I read that as "Paul Rosa". With the pencil icon next to the text I even thought, "why's Paul Rosa editing posts by Chas"!

Many thanks Chas.
 
Another piece not requiring too much effort on the assembly or turning front.
