"It is difficult to convey by mere description an idea of the rare beauty of such specimens... for when finished... they possess a transparent appearance suggestive of colored crystals or precious stones having the light reflected from a surface polished at different angles, rather than a plane surface of wood." The Cabinet-Maker's Assistant, Thomas Chippendale
