Hey Pete:

I have a question/observation for the group. I don't know the answer, but I think it could be important for your application of this wood.

If the cherry and rosewood gain their beautiful color in, say, an antique table or chair, because they've aged and the surface of the wood has been exposed to the environment for a long time, won't the encapsulation in epoxy and fiberglass inhibit this process? I know that is a Good Thing for wood we want protected, but if it keeps the cherry from turning color, you may be dissapointed....

Just curious.
