This is an unusual grain for Angire and I doubt we'll see much more of it. The "pecky" or bird's eye figuring is subtle but it classy. Some of the veneers we have here show a rain drop effect similar to pommele figure. This is a great complementary wood to walnut. Imagine doors made from solid walnut stock and a birds eye anigre center panel. That would be gorgeous!
