Block Dimensions: 25 x 40 x 125mm

I have quite a few blocks of this fast growing Scots Pine, taken from the base of a large tree. When polished some delicate quilting occurs.

The tree was taken down 3 years ago and was about 40 years old and I have carefully stored and planked the most interesting sections.

I have managed to find quite a big block of Snakewood, I have cut into 25-28mm slices. The blocks have not yielded any of the traditional figuring.

However the grain that is showing in my opinion is beautiful and compares with Desert Ironwood, rich and golden brown with darker streaks and has good weight.

Please emaill me if you want bigger sizes

Stock size is 122 x 42 x 25-28mm.
