Title: Quilted Myrtle for a buddy.
Post by: West Augusta on August 10, 2011, 06:31:29 AM

A buddy in Kentucky ordered one of my strikers but wanted to pick the wood.   He went to the wood shop and this is what he gave me to work with.   Quilted Myrtle.  Kind of a pain to work with but it sure turned out nice.

No where near as hard as Bloodwood but the grain changed directions 180 degrees with every line in the grain.  It wanted to tear out bad.  *lol*
