I ordered several of the new colored stabilized Box Elder burl blanks from Ernie at Beartoothwoods earlier this week. I have been visiting my daughter in Texas and returned home tonight to find my order from BTW.
These blanks are colored beautifully! I am going to order some more to take back to Japan with me. I am usually a tad disappointed in "colors" that display on screen versus real life, but in these, the colors are vivid.
I haven't been able to view them in "daylight" yet but Fire Lily and Ruby red are almost the same; Teal and Blue Rhapsody are almost the same too; I can see a minor difference in my house light. BUT they have a beautiful hue and color, and I am NOT disappointed at all.
The visible grain looks great too!

and no, I am not getting anything out of this! Just wanted to tell all how pleased I am with these.
