re: London Plane

It is actually London Plane.
We actually got a pallet from Bosch Spark Plugs, that was made of this wood.
I had to “rescue” it.
I actually manage a Paint and Body shop supply store in St Cloud Minnesota, and this was sent from our warehouse with our freight.
I had to find out what this beautiful wood was, it turns out to be a cross between American Sycamore and Oriental Plane.
It was brought back from América to Britain, and from there to Europe, in the 1700’s, where there are 200 + year old trees now!
It is quite prized but common, some of it actually made into pallets!
I have several boards (sapwood) that are
quite a Brite orange, similar to Paduk, but
in almost a burl type grain!
