Strange Silky Oak timber
I purchased this piece of Silky Oak at Melany wood show a few years ago (due to Covid no wood show for past 3 years). The imperfections appear to be bark fragments grown inside the tree. makes a very interesting box.

Very nice indeed.
The timber reminds me of some Banksia I had quite a few years ago, which was in very narrow boards/slats. Sadly, not big enough for boxes, etc. and the inclusions made building up a piece look 'iffy.' But they made gorgeous trim decoration around a fancy dresser which I was quite happy with.
I've occasionally wondered at what conditions cause this type of feature, or whether it's just a feature of certain species?
Anyways, it came up looking a treat. Good choice on the simple form to show the features, too!

They certainly add some features to the box. Looks good

RGP, I think it's resin from insect damage, but as you have it and we can only see the picture I can't be positive. Good looking box all the same.
