My brother recently found this old board in a corner of my parents barn. How old it is, who knows. It's been identified as Sonokeling Rosewood, a variation of East Indian Rosewood by a couple of wood experts. My father spent quite a bit of time in that neighborhood during WW2 and shipped quite a few things back. This could be from then, but again quien sabe?

Is it just my computer, or are most of these pics not opening? At least 3 out of 5 are showing a "broken link" kind of icon.... tried opening them in another tab, no joy....
What's up ? ? ? some kind of communist plot?

Question: Does it get much cooler than that?
Answer: NO!
Correct 10/10! (Wait it’s summer vacation 🙄)
