Cool story, thanks.

Ancient Kauri (30K - 50K yrs old). I've worked a few small boards of
this stuff. Very tight grained, takes an amazing polishing to 600 grit
or more.

Also, the Mondavi Center at UC Davis has a lot of it. Worth the stop if
you're driving by.

I'd love to have a slab of the ancient Kauri, beautiful stuff, it fetches
a good price.
