And the winner is...???
I wish you guys stop speaking in code, well sort of, I almost missed the answer as your guess, congratulations, you are the winner...!
Yes, the correct answer is the #26 Platypus Gum, one of the wood species used in these games, before. As I mentioned, these blanks were processed recently, not because it was a new wood, not at all, I have had it for years, but because, this was the first time I decided to created a distinct 2 tone blanks, looking and selecting certain specific parts of the log, to achieve what I wanted.
This wood has been cut and listed and #26st (straight cut), #26Z (diagonal) #26X (cross cut), #26B burl normal, #26BS burl special (pink burl), #26spt (spalted), #26R (Resifills) and now #26 2T (2 tone). I may even be forgetting some other blanks I made from this wood, but these are what I recall, at the moment...!
I thought that this guess was going to be an easy one for everybody, I made reference of the "fire" colouration, cut in a certain way, such as the cross and diagonal cuts, sold for many years...!
Anyway, for Skeleton2014 and krash, sorry that I couldn't award the prizes to you 2 but, rules are there for a reason, I'm sure you understand and accept...!
Wayne had nothing to worry about, his last win on in 19/8/2014, 3 months ago so, pretty safe to claim another win...!:wink::biggrin:
I have seen a few new faces/names in this game, thank you for that...!
Well, is time to wrap up game #12, thank you to all those that participated, most appreciated...!
Please Paypal AU$14.00 to, nyodine@yahoo.com.au, and the prize will be in the mail, very soon...!
Cheers
George

My thanks again to you and Mr Anonymous , George . Also to Skeleton2014 and Krash for their assistance . i will try to return the favour , although you seem to be able to use your time around here more effectively than I do .
Those platypus gum blanks certainly look different from the ones I purchased from you several years ago George . That is not surprising to me as I can easily find similar variation in any of my common woods that many consider to be humdrum . Thank you for the insight into your range of Australian woods .
Paypal has been sent . Time for bed .

You're welcome, mate...!
Paypal received, thank you, blanks will be in the mail tomorrow morning.
I'm not sure if I understand what you mean with, using my time on IAP more effectively than you, I'm sure this is a complement there somewhere...!:wink:
I do spend some time, everyday on IAP, that is most certainly, a fact...!:biggrin:
As for the variations within the same wood species, some species are a lot more giving than other but, there is also a fact that, there ways and ways to slice up woods..!:wink::biggrin:
I can't say much for the "help/assistance" you got from Skeleton2014 and Krash, it was for "grabs" I was just waiting to see who would grab it, and you did, good for you...!:wink::biggrin:
Cheers
