Huisache Board H-224
3-1/8" x 7-7/8" x 5/8"
3/4 lb.
This is a nice small board of Texas Huisache. It is entirely the bright rosy/reddish-brown of Huisache heartwood, with a generally straight to moderately curving grain pattern.
There is a small, angular crack on one edge (top photo, left edge). Trimming of that side to remove the crack will reduce the overall width of the board to 2-3/4". Also, small open knot is present on the back side (bottom photo). That small knot could easily be infilled with sawdust and CA glue, epoxy or the like, if required. I see no other flaws.
Note, there is a slight angle to both cut ends of this board (say 2 to 3 degrees). Apparently, I did not have my bandsaw's miter gauge correctly aligned!
