Rotten Beech

[Neil Lawton]

Not Spalted but rotten. This blank came from a tree that had water ingress due to a lost limb. The largest cracks are filled with a black powder and Ca. 4 1/2" x 2" finished in Chestnut finishing oil.

That's stunning Neil, time you instructed the wood fairey to get you some proper sound timber though.

Black powder!!Don't light a match near it!
Cracking looking bowl.Some great results can be had with what seems like dodgy timber,

 

[Bill Mooney]

Now that’s beautiful Neil. A lovely colour. You get some lovely timber.

That is a worthy bowl from a manky piece of timber, lovely results, it looks very different. Hope it didn't fight tooo much

Thanks chaps. The black powder is embossing powder for gift card making.
