Spalted Oak

[paulm]

A piece of the spalted Oak that was drying on the cooker last week. This is in my opinion one of the nicest pens I've made and is up there with the Thuya and other exotics.

Thats very eagle eyed of you Woody, I can see it now. And here are a brace of pictures of George taken yesterday at a show. He's going to be filmed on Tuesday for a program out at Christmas.

Gotta agree with you Paul regarding the timber

Yup, that's a stunning piece of wood and very well turned and finished.
