    Myrtle Crotch HF

    I got this chunk of Myrtle in a trade with Reed Gray... pretty neat wood... THANKS REED! It ended up 8" tall and 7-1/2" wide... Seal-a-Cell and Arm-R-Seal finish.

    Opinions/critiques/suggestions welcomed.

    Mark...beautiful HF but there's something wrong with that wood....it's got swirls, curls and drips in it! Beautifully done as we've come expect from you!
