A ROYAL GIFT ... AND ITS STORY

Get well soon, Fernando!

Thanks a lot for posting this piece! Assuming that it got gifted to the intended recipient, how did it find its way back to Portugal?

BTW, there seem to be several tree species whose timbers are referred to as partridge wood. This doesn't seem to be from the most common species (Andira inermis); root/burl wood often has a distinct look though.

Looking forward to other special pieces that you may be able to post. Take your time to get fit though!

Regards,
Kai
