And the winner is...???
It does look like platypus gum , so I will guess it , but only George knows
I wish you guys stop speaking in code, well sort of, I almost missed the answer as your guess, congratulations, you are the winner
...!
Yes, the correct answer is the #26 Platypus Gum, one of the wood species used in these games, before. As I mentioned, these blanks were processed recently, not because it was a new wood, not at all, I have had it for years, but because, this was the first time I decided to created a distinct 2 tone blanks, looking and selecting certain specific parts of the log, to achieve what I wanted.
This wood has been cut and listed and #26st (straight cut), #26Z (diagonal) #26X (cross cut), #26B burl normal, #26BS burl special (pink burl), #26spt (spalted), #26R (Resifills) and now #26 2T (2 tone). I may even be forgetting some other blanks I made from this wood, but these are what I recall, at the moment...!
I thought that this guess was going to be an easy one for everybody, I made reference of the "fire" colouration, cut in a certain way, such as the cross and diagonal cuts, sold for many years...!
Anyway, for Skeleton2014 and krash, sorry that I couldn't award the prizes to you 2 but, rules are there for a reason, I'm sure you understand and accept...!
