That wood looks really awesome.  I am learning all kinds of new stuff here. :)  It is really a pretty piece.

Thanks for all the coments, in this case I used black poster paint as it is quick and I did not have to re-sand it, it is finished with danish oil

Very unique. Is the bumpy finish in the wood or why does it look that way. It seems like a special finish. Mark
