Firewood

[Anglesachse]

a workmate asked me if I would like some of the firewood he had, this wood has been lying in the store for about 30 years.
His father was a carpenter and this was just cutoff, OK, what I can`t turn, I can burn.

Turned out (sorry about the bad pun) this was Ebony!

Here are a couple of pics:

Beautiful pen.
It is amazing what you can sometimes find in a firewood pile.

That is what I would call mighty nice fire wood. Mostly because of what you did to it. Congrats on the find.
