I had completely forgotten I had this stock. I cut up a storm damaged ash tree that had stood for years as basically a 7' tall tree that was over 30" in diameter. It's been in the basement for at least 10 years. Today I went into the shop and had no 220 electricity. I had to crawl back to get to the breaker panel (for some reason there is some wood stacked in the way) and saw this ash. Here is the first pen and also a shot of the blanks. I'm pretty sure this is a spalt that only set in the early grain of the growth rings. It does not involve the entire board, but is based on several years in the growth rings. I used a satin nickel kit and am really happy with the result.
