>Adrien,

Yes, it does have a very interesting pattern! Its beauty is only preceded by its infamy; this stuff is tough. Go out and turn a piece of plywood, then think about turning something with 5 times more glue content (read "tool dulling abrasiveness"). I leave that up to Rude Osolnik, may he rest in peace.
