We did it!!!…..I can’t believe the purple color with the contrasting creamy sapwood. This wood will never get boring as it just keeps giving up its’ beauty as you look at it and touch it. Tomorrow is another day as we will mostly finish off the milling and then onto the carving rack as these must be arched for an arbor project.

In the meantime, I need some black walnut for a wee project at home which will be prepped tomorrow…..It is part of a walnut crotch. Will post pics as this a beautiful piece of wood. I spoke to Sir Juniperus logger and we will be getting some even bigger logs shortly.
