That was a listing mistake. He had already sold it and shipped it out when I bought it, he immediately refunded my money to PayPal. Actually he sent me a warning telling me not to pay in the first place as he no longer had the set at the time.
I bought a flame koa set instead, which looks absolutely fabulous, eeven more so in person. Once it has finish on it the flames will pop incredibly.

BRW has bluish florescence under UV with a solvent (methanol) extract,


...does the test absolutely have to be methanol, or might other alcohols work to a degree? i have a bunch of '80s rosewood in question, i posted it about a year ago, but i never definitively settled it. i think methanol is one of the first ones to refract when distilling, so maybe there is enough trace of it in cheap vodka
:P
