...MM 
Over the last year you have posted a number of sensationally figured timbers to the stage where it is almost tedious as we go for the "like" button, but for me, these are your best pieces yet. Not only is the figure sensational, it is bookmatched and whole without apparent flaws or defects.
Exceptional.

Cheers Paul..the log's heart was on the outer edge of the log,or root,as opposed to it being in the centre,this helped with the recovery of a number of boards being 'heart' and defect free..Cheers MM Originally Posted by Bushmiller

Truly fantastic pieces, the challenge is successful drying and blackwood perhaps one of the more forgiving timbers in this regard.
Keep milling

Gorgeous Grain!
Slap some Oil on it, hang it up on your wall and you have art.
