    No matter who you think you made that bench for, it’s obvious the cat owns it now. 😂

    A beautiful bench and a beautiful model to show it off too 🥰 I've never seen spalted wood before. Isn't it amazing the patterns left behind on wood caused by trauma basically. The spalting being caused by fungus and burled wood also scars from a battle with a viral or fungal infection. And those battles leave the wood all the more beautiful and interesting to look at. I find it fascinating. Great job on this Jay as always. Thanks for sharing.
