Half Figured Koa

A bit disappointing to find a Koa blank with nice figure on only one side, but gloss lacquer finish does dress it up a bit.

nice

I think it's nice to show the difference -- it makes you appreciate each side more for what it is.

Interrrresting

The curl fades out at the side but is still visable in the middle of the front edge.  I'm not a huge fan of high gloss finishes but this makes the chatoyance sing.  Nice piece.
