Glad you like them swp, the curly maple scraps were not real obvious. My dad found them where he used to work years ago, he was "alert" when throwing them into the dumpster.
Nice wood can show up in surprising places. I recently bought a tool from Home Depot, used as a concrete float, it was a flat piece of wood with a plastic handle attached. The package stated mahogany. It was soft wood, but had some WILD figuring. I bought the tool (for the wood), removed the handle and threw it away. Stabalized the wood and it's ready to use now.
Keep your eyes peeled!
