That pink and teal looks pretty...
Wish they could 'wet' a side of it (like you wet a rock to see what it really looks like)

They probably would if you ask.

just a quick FYI here: Buckeye is a very soft wood. Please don't buy buckeye burl unless it's either stabilized or there is some reassurance from the vendor that it's some kind of incredibly tenacious, miracle-hard-exception piece of the stuff. There's a vendor selling some really beautiful buckeye/resin hybrids that are not stabilized wood, and I have yet to hear that this particular burl was somehow special.

So . .. . No.

Stabilized Buckeye Burl? . . . sure, great.

Also, buying wood without tossing me a link for a quick check is . . .. well . .. . why do that?

If I weren't felling so lazy, I'd get up to transfer the pic of this block....I will, but not tonight. You should see it, it's phenomenal.

I just wanted to share a sincere thanks Peter, I've taken a huge step away from ECF and vaping as a result of a hard look at our parting situation.
I know that wasn't the intended end for either of us, but alas you never know when something that feels tragic at the time instead becomes the catalyst for something healthier. I've enjoyed the freedom from obsessive mod disorder, lol, and have gained a balance that I now see I had lost by compulsive lurking and waiting on various lists.
Many thanks to you for the great year I enjoyed the hell out of my dibbi and all the best wishes for your continued success and expression as a craftsman pursuing what you love.

For the record this was the piece I believe prompted the public service announcement...

Wife and I somehow overlooked the fact it wasn't stabilized.

Can't imagine how.

We were shopping for her upcoming gdibi dna 40 shell.
