So I have this cottonwood tree in my backyard. A storm took down a large limb a year ago. Decided to saw into it to see if it had spalted, and sure enough, it did. This being my 3rd pen/pencil that I have turned, I didn't think to make certain the spalting traveled deep enough. Got lucky on one half at least. Not what I was hoping for but still turned out okay.
Cut down to 1''x1''x6'' and microwaved 6 times for 30 seconds until weight stabilized. Sanded to 320. CA/BLO finish.
