Type of Veneer?

Is that wenge veneer on the soundplane?

It's a rotary cut, which accounts for the lines. I don't really remember what species-- that was a while ago. I'm using walnut these days. More Soundplane info next week BTW.

Yay, looking forward to it :)

Was the one in the photo a rotary cut, or a quarter slicing?

Oh I don't know.
