Got wood? Part Deux.

Cassia siamea..
I have to show "limus piit" (literally translate "finch mango" its got the name since the fruit of the mango is so small). Will post later once i have time to look for it it my hard disk.

I'm partial to Turkish walnut. I do send it out for stabilizing.

No longer in my possession, its already in my brother now.
Limus piit, O1, made by Javasmith.
Not all of the "limus piit" tree will have dark color and pattern like this, maybe it is because of external factor.

A couple blue ones of mine from Claudio.

My hands-down favorite is end-grain spalted maple:





It's tough to beat some feather walnut when you can find it:




This might be one of my favorite pieces of walnut - ever.
And I've done a bushel basket of some killer stuff:

 

[RogerP]

Good stuff Karl.

Mark - what's the wood on that top knife? Buckeye?

 

[J. Doyle]

Roger- this is something really special right here! I'd be interested in seeing what becomes of this in it's finished state.

John,

I'd post your Silky Oak Bowie, but I can't seem to... The wood on that would belong here...

Awesome woods in all of these pics!

 

[J. Doyle]

Joe- I think I still have that. I'll post it in a bit. I forgot about that one.

 

[RogerP]

Roger- this is something really special right here! I'd be interested in seeing what becomes of this in it's finished state.

Thanks - and you can count on pics when the project is done.

Both were maple burl. Those are the only two I own with dyed woods.

Whew! You guys are bringing it to the table with this thread. The dark rich wood tones bring back warm thoughts of my wealthy Grandfathers den and him sipping bourbon in his leather chair.

 

[EdgyGator]

Wow. Beautiful work. Is that walnut crotch Claro or Bastogne?

 

[RogerP]

^^^ Claro. If you were referring to the block I posted.

 

[EdgyGator]

I'll have to get down to my shop and take some pics of some of the blanks I have.
