Diary of a Scottish woodcrafter. Lover of nature and wild places!!
spiffy looking little box...what is the wood underneath it on the beck with the dark streaks?
Its spalted Beech same as the box, its dark streaks are caused by fungus that goes in to the grain and shows up as the dark veins .If the timber is cut in time it dries out and stabilises . Thanks for looking in ;)
