It's a shame that so few of the creators on this website have as much experience and ability to show and tell the really unique things in the world as you do.
Bill, thanks for showing your beauties! I’m always amazed when working with your planes, most beautiful planes which allow me to plane with/across and against the grain Hope you both are well!
It took me a lifetime to get this piece of boxwood, it is such a special piece as it is a perfect example. English boxwood is certainly different to other types in the world. The biggest boxwood tree I have ever seen we 47" round the girth but only for about 2 1/2' up from ground level. I was also given a piece about 18" diameter in the round and 18" high. Unfortunately 95% of it was rotten.
