This is a piece similar to the first Hinoki piece I posted a few months back. I’m not sure this is Hinoki, but it is my only guess. Certainly seems to be a cypress of some kind. There are a few defects in this piece: some grain tear as shown, some pecky vertical voids beginning to form in the wood, one large check running down the length of the wood as shown that I filled with a little sawdust and CA glue. Sealed with polyurethane in pics. I’d recommend looking at @Phil.H ’s hollow form he made out of the original piece I had. It’ll be very close in properties to that. Soft, fragrant , figured wood. 48cmx19x17. Asking 35$ plus shipping. Quite a lot of wood for the money, but it has some larger defects. Don’t need or want it sitting around unused.
