Although we have plenty of fig around here, i never bothered to try turn any as it looks rather bland and there are so many other more interesting timbers to gouge into. However, while organizing an old pile of fire wood the other day, i came across a few very damaged small logs with some interesting gray spalting on the end grain...
I first turned a small candle holder:
Then another one... and as i further cut into that log, i discovered some orange/gold spots... Cross cut some short pen blanks...
This is certainly one of the most beautiful local spalted timber i came across with the spalted cork oak i've shown some time ago.
It's amazing how a rather ordinary timber can turn into such beauty if you let it rot a bit! :biggrin:
