I did hear tale that the Beatles had split up but I don't keep up with pop music scene much these days to know for sure.
I brought two rather large slabs of Tiger Oak from your mate Pigeon in his van, made some lovely pens give a bit to Woody and still have some left.
My belief was due to the grain resembling tiger stripes is where the common name comes from but I don't no expert on this neither.
Getting back to the point of the thread, nice couple pens but I think a belt on them would suit nicely and enhance the join.
