Here is a bottle stopper that I made. It is from a single piece of wood that has both heart wood (red) and sap wood (brown) in it. I just happened to center the turning so the color splits the wood. The wood is Australian M... I just couldn't read the writing. It tore a little when I was turning it, not a real hard wood. I turned a couple of pens as seen in the previous post with the same wood, but they were only one color.

I'm preparing some more pen blanks that will use a piece of this later. I've been refinishing a basement room for my wife's sewing, so that has taken precedence over my wood working.

Be careful of the splinters.
