Eastern Red Cedar Block ERC-352
1.2" x 1.2" x 20.5"
0.4 lbs.

This is a long spindle of Texas Eastern Red Cedar. It's a bit oddly shaped, so please look at the photos closely -- scroll down below the first 3 photos.  It's got wane edges in two areas, which somewhat limits its turning dimensions.  Dimensions listed are the max dimensions (at the widest point, mid-spindle).  It narrows to about 1/2 that width at its bottom end, opposite the annotation.

This spindle is the deep reddish-purple of cedar heartwood with a smoothly linear to gently curving grain pattern.  The wane edges are the sub-bark, and there's really not any sapwood to speak of -- this piece is all heartwood.  There do not appear to be any knots in it at all.  The board is sealed with Anchor Seal and has been air-dried to ~12% moisture content.
