Bodark Block B-534
1-3/8" x 1-3/8" x 7-3/8"
1/2 lb.
This is a nice, end-grain block of Texas Bodark. The overall color is the classic golden-yellow of fresh-cut Bodark heartwood, but does include one prominent reddish spalt stripe along one edge. Those colors will darken to a reddish/golden dark brown with time (and have already done so somewhat since the photo was taken).
I see no significant flaws. Note - that irregular black patch on one side of the top photo is just a bit of mud that I did not see and remove when taking the photo!
