This is quilted Tasmanian Blackwood. It has a lot of golden quilting throughout the grain and is matched with a gold executive twist pen.

Finish is CA.

Special blank from spectacular Blackwood. Blackwood reminds me when finished like a silk tie flashes deep and meaningful colour . The timber stains your fingers etc worth every bit of time to use the various quilted, striped, various forms found. Have found some blackwood dense and tough heard a large length dropped once sounded like steel, heavy as. Thanks for the close ups as well.

Kind regards Peter.

David, you're thinking of Beeswing Narra. Narra is actually from the same tree as Amboyna and the beeswing figure is an anomaly. I have some beeswing figured Narra and it is amazing when finished.
