    Those are super nice Joseph. Really a lot of curl in that wood. Well done.

    Camphor and Eucalyptus, I can guess what your shop smells like . opens your sinuses right up!

    The Eucalyptus moves a lot, even when dry, and clean it off the tools quickly!

    I will say I like the first form better, but both look nice and show off the wood well.
