Here are my first two pens since I found this site. Both were gifts for my parents. First one is Purpleheart with Satin Ivory European.
Needs some work, but getting there.
The second is from a dead tree that just about hit our house last spring in a storm. I was cutting it up for firewood when I noticed the spalting. There is even some red streaks in it. If anyone wants to take a guess, I would love to know what it is. I have a ton of it. Kit is Satin Nickel American.

Comments would be appreciated, and are wanted. I am learning, and will take all the help I can.

I know the pics are not the best.

I have a bunch of it, but it is mostly in the log form yet. I only cut up one small section to see what it looked like. It doesn't have the distinctive open grain of oak. I was thinking, maple, ash, or somthing of the lighter colored nature. VERY light, and soft. Have to dig deeper in to the log to get out of the mush, and bug holes around the outside. Ants were still in it when I cut this section apart. I'll have to get on the rest of them this sping.
