    Default Stunning Tuart

    Good Evening ladies and Gentlemen

    I was sent these pictures from Derek Doak of a Tuart he milled last week. Neither of us have ever seen such colour, grain or figure in Tuart. The log apparently looked innocuous, but once opened up, Wow. These are quartersawn
    Cheers

    That looks real nice. Be interesting to see ifnit keeps that colour when exposed to UV for a while.

    Amazing, I've seen some of those colours before in Tuart but never so many in the same log.

    Yep some beautiful stuff there

    The last 2 photos look more like milling marks though rather than fiddle

    Wow, amazing colour, maybe it should be renamed as 'rainbow wood'. How does it finish up, are the colours lost or enhanced by finishing?
