Bodark Block B-485 2" x 2" x 6"

Bodark Block B-4852" x 2" x 6"1 lb.This is another nice 2 inch-square spindle block of spalted Texas Bodark. The colors are the golden brown of mature Bodark with intra-grain bands of reddish brown spalting. There is a small wedge of old sapwood and bark along two-thirds of one edge (top photo). That sapwood and bark should turn off completely as the block is turned to round.There is a single thin and tight drying check below that patch of sapwood and bark on one edge. It appears to be old and I would simply reinforce it with CA glue before turning. I see no other significant flaws.
