I was hoping a bunch of you guys would be willing to share your opinions.
Thank You in advance for any of you who are willing to offer your input.
You can say this wood is butt ugly and it won't hurt my feelings.
I wanted to hear what you have to say before I make my decision whether to send this stuff in for stabilizing.
In the past there have been woods I thought were cool but nobody else did.
On the other side of the coin there have been woods I thought were ugly, but a lot of the knife makers wanted it. Example Black Palm.
This wood is cut from a standing dead Black Oak bunion. The spalting changed the look to random blotches of color.
When sanded finer it will show rays but not much else in the way of figuring.
Please let me know what you think. Good stuff or junk?
