Now I know I probably don't need any more timber but the lure of rare and beautiful wood is too much to resist! Below is a close up of some lovely mild grained Andaman Padauk, this stuff is unobtainable now so I couldn't resist it. The colour ranges from light to dark orange and tones down to a lovely rich red over time, somewhat different to its African cousin which starts very bright but quickly tones down to a dull grey. Bob at Timberline does have some more but he keeps it tucked away and it's not cheap!
Here's a small chunk of quarter sawn bog oak, 5,600 years old. It has a ripple running through and will make some wonderful boxes.
I also bought some boards of Indian laurel, again with a nice mild grain.This piece was unusually light in colour and has some lovely black lines running through, reminiscent of ziricote.
I was very pleased with my haul once the surfaces were revealed, now I just need to find the time to make some furniture!
That's great, keep it up!

Achieve the amount of the two dissimilar styles, be watchful of your end goalmouth and how you want your modern furniture to fit with your new out-of-date style pieces.
