Bought this at the local lumber mill. It was the bosses secret stash. I didnt know it was this pretty until I cleaned it up.

Yeah! I like it too. I went back the other day to buy his other piece, but he wont srll it anymore. Says he wants to make those wooden Buddhist beads.... feels like such a waste of wood to me.

If you think the wood is pretty, you should see the tree it came from!

Have you tried shining a light through the orange part yet? Should be somewhat translucent.

Thanks Walt! It is a bit translucent, really pretty! Just need to figure out what I am going to do with it.
