I was at one of our local timber market shows the other day and picked up a branch of some Burdekin Plum (on left). This timber is pretty rare as the tree is a sacred bush-tucker tree here for the local aborigines. I cut a length of to see what it was like and then cut that into some pen blanks, some normal and others cross-cut. It was amazing with browns, reds and blacks.
Although the cross-cuts blanks were a pain to turn, and I destroyed a few blanks in the process, the Rhodium Jr Gent 3 and Sierra click turned out great with amazing Chatoyance. Mind you, the other Sierra click is in normal cut, and also looks pretty good.
They are all finished CA and look great to me, wish I could have bought more, but I still have enough for around another 30-40 blanks.
Cheers
