That is a beautiful example of canarywood and really well used as well. Canarywood is still one of my favorite of the hardwoods, and it still shocks me sometimes just how many different color striations can occur in one species. I'm sure that piece will only get more beautiful as it continues to oxidate.
Yes! This board was sitting in my workshop for 2 years until I could find something worthy of it. I'm beyond thrilled with how it turned out.
I have a plank downstairs right now that will eventually become a custom keyboard rest or something else and it's been down there for a couple years now... It's no where near as nice as this one though.
