Great piece Roger you have done it justice and Mark should be pleased with your interpretation of some of his style of work.

I must confess to being an admirer of his work. Did not know where to comment on this piece as I have seen it elsewhere

Neat. Love the different woods used in other countries. What is "lead wood" ? I guess its heavy.

Thanks Dalboy and Tea Lady. Tea Lady the lead wood is Combretum imberbe and is heavy and hard as nails. When you see pictures of game lodges in South Africa those twisted stems holding up the thatch roof are 9 out of 10 times Lead Wood as they are termite proof. Regards Roger

I had to look up what lead wood was as you got curiosity.

Local to the region is what my understanding is.
