    Nice! I was just going to add it's exciting when you first rub oil on it to see what happens with the grain patterns.

    "Morning Woods" sounds better for a housing development, but the idea of more than one at any given time is worrisome. :|

    Close, crotch walnut. From Aaron's @ALL212 dad's tree farm. Hand rubbed, Tung oil. I love the different appearance throughout the day as lighting changes. I was nervous about it splitting routing between the corners of the base, but it held together.

    I have a matching crotch walnut turntable plinth I need to finish for the Lenco idler drive. It will be stuffed with layers of Baltic Birch. It will be a PTP build, bearing and motor plate separate.

    Nice grain and color. If your wife is anything like mine, you shouldn't leave that block near the fireplace or chiminea.

    His fireplace was dismantled and now houses all of his audio gear. No worries about that happening.
