Excellent!

Byoootiful one! Love the time lapse, too: The birth of a "Tiki"

Beautiful piece!
Thanks for the video, very enjoyable.

Great video and a beautiful Abelam. From the photos you can't tell that it's 7 FEET TALL!!! With the time lapse, your chain saw looks like a light sabre :lol:

Its good to see you here. The video is excellent!

I also agree with BigBro adding some aging/petina will really make it POP.
