Reaction zones...pretty

[Bermy]

I found this picture just now, this was an old Bauhinia, had been mutilated in the past and I cut it out.
The reaction zone colouration was pretty I thought!

I kept a slice but it stank like cat's pee when I cut it and thereafter every time it got wet...

The color reminds of some Pear wood, real pink and pretty when green, and usually dries to lighter.

Same here, pear wood-like. Nice.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Nice, but stanky!!! Pretty wood, though.

Yes, I left it propped against a tree down at the dock where we used to tie up our boat, but then I thought some fishermen might use it for a cutting board and then wonder why their fillet tasted so rank later...so it went bye bye.

Oh, there's sure some stinky wood to come across out there.

Very pretty! A good advertisement for proper pruning/avoiding big cuts.
