Bodark Block B-751 2.2" x 2.2" x 15.2" 2.9 lbs. This is a beautiful and hefty spindle of Texas-grown Bodark.

There a couple of tiny, hairline cracks.  They appear to tip out very shortly into the block.  You may choose to reinforce with CA glue. The bark edge has a bit of wane (missing wood) that will turn off as you bring the spindle to round.
