Not a beach find this time, but here is a beautiful lychee block up for your consideration. Lovely grain patterns and coloration. Been drying about 5 years. Has some shallow checking on two sides towards the bottom as pictured below. I cleaned up two sides to give a good view of the grain and color and then sealed it with polyurethane. The color changed from a meaty red/pink to a deeper auburn once sprayed. This wood is DENSE and difficult to work. It tends to burn like Purple Heart and it is quite difficult to polish. Would be great for any project needing to be durable or just really solid. I’d imagine it would work great for handles or even a mallet head. You could make a whole tableware set out of the wood here as well. Loads of beautiful usable wood. Asking 50$ plus shipping. It is HEAVY though so expect shipping to be more than the cost of the wood. The wood is more than worth the cost of the price plus shipping from what I can gather online. 25cmx24x23
