That's very perceptive, exactly right!
On the go are the silver and copper filled ebonized oak, the experimental bone filled oak, 2 buckeye burr, 1 figured walnut, and a spalted parallel. will pop some picks up later on today....

Oak mods-1 silver, 1 copper and 1 bone
The bone mod is the experimental one, and has timber taken from the crotch of the tree and shows a lot of end grain. This makes it darker and with a lot of end grain wasn't to sure how it would sand blast.
Blasted.
Fill is more opaque than I ideally wanted.
Blasted and ebonized, ready to fill.

This is interesting stuff, a very thin slow cure 2 pot epoxy with something in it to make it penetrate, and penetrate it does! these 4 pieces have soaked up around 50ml of liquid, and very little of that will be in the walnut due to it's density. On the other hand the buckeye burr is a soft light wood with a density not much more than balsa, so has sucked up near it's entire volume and should be treated pretty much right through. From now on all light woods will be treated with this product after shaping for waterproofing and durability.
Nice work Vaughan, the bone caps looks interesting, the walnut looks luxurious

It is nice, and there are a couple more of those on their way today with some more rosewood blanks too....
just scored enough of this for 4 mods....quilted red gum, an Aussie eucalypt variety, extremely hard and dense timber.
Choices, choices...
Intéressant!
I thought you were ahead of me. Now your last question makes perfect sense. Matchy-matchy, eh?
