@SEN texted me pictures of this piece, but I saw it on WB this morning, and a question ran through my mind as to whether that piece came from me. With his text, he confirmed it did. I know I sent him a box of stuff awhile back, but don't remember any DI with the colors that has. When I'm out collecting, all the stuff I find is already weathered and turned grey, usually with a deceased date of more than 30-40 years in my area. This piece doesn't look that old, hence the sapwood almost looking fresh.
Steve, that's a great looking piece. Nice simple shape. Is it a candle holder?
I'm gonna have to investigate the stuff I have, which from the pieces I've actually worked, are mostly dark with excellent chatoyance. ............ Nubs
