Grading: Our grading system is not standard but very easy to understand.
Plain = no figure - straight grain
Light Figure = light curly or grain color in 25% of stock
Medium Figure = curly or patterned grain in 50% of stock - "a nice stock but not a bragger"
Heavy Figure = over 75% curly and/ or patterned - "a respectable stock to everyone"
Presentation = very rare pieces - usually three separate patterns or colors - "gorgeous and fit for presentation to the best"
