well being a woodtech has its benefits, thank you to @afshind and @rosszeibari for gifting me some Zebrano from the massive delivery earlier in the week.

after thicknessing and jointing.
two pieces doweled and joined together.
planes down fairly well . irregular grain does mean there is some tearout similar to working with wenge
it also smell a bit like washing that has been left damp for 4 days!
