Cypress Block Cy-434x 2.1" x 2.1" x 10" 0.8 lbs. Very pretty end-grain blocks of Cypress; ideal for spindle turning. The grain is fine and even, with a light brown to golden color. The grain is roughly parallel to the long axis of the block. There are a few patches of spalting in some of the blocks -- it's attractive but not particularly noticeable. Price is for one single block. We have a number of them cut, all of very similar character. They are S1S or S2S, showing us some very pretty grain with a hint of compression figure. This piece has been air-dried to 10-12% moisture content. I see no cracks, checks, or other significant flaws. There are more than 3 photos, so please scroll down past the first 3 to see them all. |
