Round 5 of beach finds! This is the top of a Coffinwood (Taiwania) log. I split it because it was too heavy to ship as one piece. Absolutely gorgeous, but it has LOADS of flaws. Lots of deep checking going on, windshake and a massive knot in the middle. Please be fully aware of this before considering. I poured some CA glue in all the checks, but realistically, this piece should be cast or stabilized. I tried to remove as much tear out as possible and this is what I got in the end. Lovely but flawed. Wood is sealed with polyurethane in pics. Asking 30$ plus shipping. 25cmx20x8-13.

Yes it looks beautiful and I am very happy to get a piece of the lovely and beautiful wood from Taiwan that you have been sharing with us all. I plan to make a nice bowl from it. But it is so nice I’ll probably just admire it for a while. Thanks again!
