I was having a bit of a tidy up and was going to chuck some offcuts of kiln dried oak in the but wondered what it would look like cross cut. Here it is on a slimline. The sides of it is very translucent.

Heart of Oak Paul gob smacked at the tiger skin effect on your resurrected piece of saved timber. Outstanding grain and beautiful finish mate.

I stabilized a piece of Oak with red coloured juice. It was interesting but yours is one hell of a lot nicer. Is your pen red or white Oak? It looks like red Oak.
