That blank reminds me very much of some Olive root burl I sometimes get and also the rare Truffle wood that I once sold, either way, a beautiful blank, congrats.
That is truly a gorgeous chunk of wood. It looks a bit more like Thuya than Honduras Rosewood though. I'm absolutely not a wood expert but HRB that I have and have seen pictures of do not have the eyes as prevalent and are darker hues of brown and black.
A sensational piece of work there Peter
The timber, the choice of hardware, the execution and presentation and all the way to the photography.
Well done Mate!!
