This isnt the heaviest for it's size but it is one of the most striking. With 2/3 of the blank being a light contrasting sapwood, the heartwood then really pops out. It actually looks like marbled Claro Walnut, the swirling figure, dark medium and light streaks really are impactful. There is also a bark inclusion on gthe reverse which will need turning out in the shape design perhaps. To see more about this wood type, visit the wood database here
