Nice colours revealed when exposed to sunlight
Makes the grain 'pop'
This board is quarter sawn and quite dense btw
Has an interesting line of 'Compression Fiddleback' through it that makes the grain appear 3D
Love the stuff Mr Fiddleback

Here's a pic of a piece milled from one of the 'spurs' of the butt log
Intense compression yielding some interesting patterns
The tannins and natural weathering have provide some beautiful colours too

Nice Fiddleback in this pair
These are from the same butt log too but more golden in colour
Enjoy!
Cheers Mr Fiddleback

These may well end up as salt and pepper grinders
A quick hit with the planer and Bingo
Surprisingly little tear out as it is cranky grain
Sharp blade does help!
Anyways hope you enjoy the pics...Mr Fiddleback

Another piece from one of the 'spurs' off the butt
The colours and figure are stunning
Pics give a 3D feel as well
