The thing about myrtle, in this case Oregon Myrtlewood, is that you never can tell how far the figure will go across the quartered face when you are looking at the ripples on the cambium layer just under the bark on a clean nice round log. While this is also the case for any fiddleback log of any species, its especially a thing with myrtle. So the figure on these is good but may either block out across the plate or wane altogether. Still good nice material - bends well, polishes great, crisp reflective tone - but not the most fully figured myrtle of your life or mine. An affordable way to get into some myrtle sets and see what the buzz is all about with this up and coming species from the southern Oregon coast.
