Thanks you all for the nice comments.
Hi MrRick. I bought 2 boards from John Goodwin at the Dead Tree Salvage saw mill in Casa Grande,Az. He does not get much of it but the grain is super! He has a lot of pistachio and olive wood and I bought some of it too for here in Michigan.
Hi Bruce. It is one board that was hogged out with a 1 1/4"radiused corner router bit. I went down 3/8' for the relief. This is part of the board I made the disc from for in the hidden compartment of my last dovetailed box. I resawed a 1 1/4" thick piece. The laser is my right hand in the shop any more!! Notice where that wording came from?
