A slow growing shrub this blank from the Northern Territory. A favourite of mine from a piece well over a hundred years old.

Every once in a while beautiful timber demands simple design this was one such blank. If you could see the twisted ,termite eaten pieces you would be amazed to ever get a blank like this.

As above.... really great colour in that and character, matched very well with a simple kit to let the wood shine through:drool::drool:
