I love the orange color. Just remember that when you grind on this wood it will make a mess, looking like a bag of Cheetos exploded in your shop. Well worth it if you like orange! Good luck!

ok thanks tony . good to hear .
to wet the wood do you just rub a tiny amount of water or light sponge on some water ?
