Last call for the burn pile thread…at least until I am able to get wood milled. This has to be the sexiest piece of wood so far in my opinion. I feel like she needs a name. It is either Five Needle Pine or Taiwan Red Pine root IMO. Not your normal pine at all. They are only native to Taiwan and Taiwan only has 4 native species of pine. Looked like nothing on the outside, but I knew she was hiding secrets. Boy was she ever. It is surprisingly heavy due to the higher resin content. Lovely coloration and figure throughout the piece. Unfortunately, it does have some stones in it. It may be better as a stand alone, collecting or carved piece as compared to trying to mill and turn it. I sealed the few checks with CA glue and the wood is sealed in polyurethane. Asking 55$ plus shipping for this one. 37x20x10 cm or there abouts.
