Yep, I love to work with different types of wood. The wood I was using may have been Quilted Walnut. Not sure. I've had that supply of veneer for a long time and I don't remember. One thing I like about Walnut is how the grain and beauty of it just POPs when you apply oil or poly to it. Another unusual wood I have worked with is Zebrawood. Really pretty and unusual grain, but when you cut it, it makes a wet dog smell good.
