CROTCHES


Two sets of African mahogany crotch veneer pairs


a walnut crotch plank that I have find-sanded to a high gloss. The wood is smooth as glass on the surface on the right side of the piece where the compression is greatest. This is in total contrast to the usual somewhat grainy surface of walnut and is an excellent example of the density of compression wood.
