Flutes and sawdust

Very good. That snake wood is amazing. When I turned it, it cracked on me so often I charged an extra 100 bucks for snake wood because of breakages. Especially when drilling the bore.

Quite nice! Were these species easy to work with? I suspect you’ve run across a few species that have caused you angst. Chuck

Did you know that angst is German for fear? It’s funny how languages have mixed with globalisation.

So, recall reading that all parts of Labrum are poisonous, so, not something I would rush putting my mouth to.

They are but as with yew, the amount is surprisingly large before a reaction is noticeable. For instance, you would need to inhale at least 40 g of yew wood dust to get sick. Laburnum is somewhat less but you are unlikely to eat a finished product.

I've only seen this wood the once so interesting to hear you've used it too. This was very dry and cracked and I've had to use quite a few lines of filler. I finally got a dark brown one that was a good match. Really nice wood but hard to work.

It’s not that rare in knife scale or pen blank size. I had to buy a small log for the blank I needed but I managed to sell the rest of it to some Germans.
