A long time ago I came across a woman who was wishing to sell a collection of wood from her deceased husband. I went and looked at it. A stack of wood using up most of a garage. A lot of it was walnut. Goody. much of it was tropical hardwood. I offered what I had in the bank. No answer. Pity.
About a year later the request came round again. The same again. I made the same offer. This time it was accepted. I have been using the wood slowly over the last twenty years. Walnut quickly tropical hardwood slowly.
The Jarrah Burl was very heavy. A bit of time and I turned a bowl . Statuesque because the wood demands it.
I made a bangle from the offcut.
