Pens By Poppy

The larch tree (AKA tamarak) is a deciduous tree with short needles and cones such that it appears to be an evergreen tree. The short green needles turn brown and drop in the fall. The cones also drop annually. When cut the wood appears to be similar to pine wood. I had a piece with a large knot and wondered what it would look like. Was concerned that the knot would pop out when turned but some ultra thin CA glue kept that from happening. In addition tot he knot I like the light to dark shades in the wood.
