No Woody, that's the camera playing tricks, flattening everything and not including the clean clear floor which is out of shot.


It hasn't had the end of day clear up yet so is a tad untidy!


Anyway, it was a two man job to put it through the bansaw and take a twelve inch lump off the end and then Ive sliced it around 22mm thick. Ebony logs are always prone to shakes as the way the locals fell them is bizarre to say the least. They ring bark them and leave them standing dead for a couple of years and then fell them. So Ebony from 25 feet up crashes to the deck and can, when opened up, as a reult look like the remnants from the Bryant and May match factory. There are a few shakes in it but I was expecting that.


Heres the results, Pens in it to follow!
