Diamond in the Rough.

Another beautiful piece of wavy walnut this time cut into a square. I had high hopes for this piece and enjoyed working with a new shape...until I sanded it down and found a hard, white stone/mineral? embedded into the wood. My critics (family) suggest an end to the board at that time but I think it still has lots of potential. It reminds me of a large chunk of chocolate! Will be a nice serving or chopping board and I'll be packing it up for a friend shortly. :)
