All the above, but my most valued has to have been two small but very old pieces of Huanghua wood that was given to me from an antique restorer that wanted a pen making from it and I could keep the second piece for making one for myself.
And he found a customer for me as well..

Yes Peter, it is good as I understand isn't can't be exported out of china now..
The piece I had came off an old piece of furniture that was dated back to 500ad. As Neil has said in his posts, it has a story. That's something I could not match with any other wood I had ever turned..
