BUILD NOTES / STORY

I saw this stick of Canarywood hiding behind a piece of Wenge in the racks.  I pulled it out and realized right away that this was the top for at least a couple of my upcoming projects.  The colors are rich and vibrant, and the deeper color streaks really made this piece of wood stand out in an otherwise uninspiring stack of timber.
