Black Locust Burl Hollow Form

this is my favorite of the three pieces(all three are very nice), it really stands out, i am not familar with the Bois de Rose, it sort of looks like redheart but more consitant color??

I really liked working with the Black Locust Burl, I'd never seen it before or even heard of it for that matter, it really is gorgeous. I'm looking forward to doing a bigger piece. I have a burl that took 2 of us to pick up. I had never heard of Bois de Rose either, it might be a made up name. I got a piece from Gilmers, it is nice to work with like any rose wood and the color is an unusual dark burgandy with black stripes. I think it contrasted nicely with the yellow/gold of the locust and complimented the black piece as well.
