Default Fish (I do not know the name in English)

Hello

Have something carved again. A sting from Fish (I do not know the name in English) Zebrano. Interesting timber. As can be cut in any direction and it breaks out. As you will learn about the iron is always pulling diagonally only. Size 240 x 80 x 20 mm. Linseed oil and polished surface.

That is beautiful. The simple form and the heavy grain go well together. I think that might be zebra wood.
