Just a small point but I hear its possible to stop the bleedin irritating little advert that HTC desires do with every single post, not sure how as I don't have one but it is possible.
Not big enough to make a bowl with Stew, it is only about 2" in diameter. Thought I'd thin them out a then sand it a wee bit and make a pendant or something.....
I was just wondering was this cut with with a chain saw as I have spent many years turning highly figured wood and have never seen a circular pattern like this, is there any chance that its chain oil ?
I could have been caused by many things from fungal spores, climate or a source of minerals in the soil when it was growing…it possible could have had an old wound at that stage of its growth that has caused the colouring
Looks like one of the Vascular wilt fungal diseases, but other diseases are blocked off is various ways by the annual rings and medularies, which causes patternation. I think because its Alder it looks more impressive as it stains when cut anyhow. I could be wrong though as I've no books nearby to check, and I don't have to deal with these sort of tree problems often.
IIRC Alder stains to reddish pinky after cutting, not like that.
Plus you can see that the chainsaw didn't have its nose in the cut as the cut striations are all across the log.
