I'm 63 3/4 yrs old, working with wood since teenage years, and one look made me want to drive from S. Oklahoma to buy that wood. It is outstanding, possibly a once-in-a-lifetime log. It's worthy of a good finish and displayed as is. I'd consider it above some fine artwork.

@bockjess 2 жыл бұрын

That one is a beauty! So silly that this is the fantastic stuff skipped by many because it's not a "veneer" log. I used to drag all the walnut from my friends tree service to the mill. At the time he didn't even use it as firewood. Got many beautiful slabs that way.

You just can't put any'ol stock on this gun, and I've been hoping to run into just the right piece of wood. Take care.
