This was a piece I started years ago and just left. It is the knee of an Almond tree. A little bit soft in places. 24cm by 17cm at the widest and 5mm think. It had developed a couple of minor cracks that I filled with superglue and brass dust. Sanded and finished with satin lacquer and then buffed lightly. Going to a friend tomorrow for her birthday.

Bags of character in that, I'm sure your friend will love it, it's a great gift.

I've come back to this piece several times, the colour and grain patterns, it's almost a picture but try as I might, I cannot see it but I keep trying.

Sorry I am not sure what you mean by this. Here is Spain a lot of the fruit trees are grafted onto other stock and sometimes as a result the trunk bends at 90 degrees this is why I called it a knee.

Bryan is seeing pictures oin the grain of the wood. In rthis case I see a face.
Looks like a miserable old git Bryan.

Pete, now you mention it, I can see a head/face. However originally I was seeing a meandering river in a landscape at sunset.
I think I prefer the river scene myself though....
