ROTTEN to the Core – and Perfect for Turning #woodturning

This old oak log had been left to rot — cracked, weathered, and full of character. Most would’ve written it off as too far gone. But I saw something else. With a bit of imagination, a lot of ebonising, and some silver magic, this once-forgotten chunk of wood was given a new purpose. This woodturning project was unpredictable from start to finish, and the result… well, let’s just say it turned out better than I ever expected.
