Bodark Board B-714 1" x 3.6" x 16" 2.25 lbs. This is a nice, rift- to plain-sawn board of Texas Bodark. The color is the strong golden-yellow of Bodark heartwood, with a surface patina developing of the deeper medium brown and golden tones of aged bodark. There's a small amount of surface debris on the board (probably slightly muddy hands touching it, sorry!). It will clean or sand right off. There is an indentation on the front face just below the annotation (see 1st, 3rd photos). This appears to be a slice through a thin bark inclusion in the tree trunk. There is also a network of old fractures caused by stress while growing, such as from a hurricane. If you were to cut the fractured wood away, I estimate that you'd have a 1" thick board that is 2.5" across and 14" long. This board is on sale at a reduced price on account of its extra personality. |
