Got round to slabbing a walnut stem I picked up a few weeks ago. Not loads of heartwood but a nice contrast. Had to trim off the live edge on one side as the mill maxed out at 22"

 It all goes to my brother in law's wood shop. In a couple of years itll be planed and turned into something that he's thunk up.

Any comments gracefully taken on board ?
