When I picked up the lumber for the 5 Walnut plaques (just posted about those) I noticed a 'nugget' on the end of one board. So I cut that off and resawed it today and it's gorgeous! It ended up about 17" x 20" x 1/4" thick in its bookmatched and sanded to 220 form. Now I have to decide what to do with it... I have a few ideas but nothing concrete yet.
The boards were very straight except for right at the end on this particular one so I had to be careful resawing it.
Opened up to reveal the nugget -
Lots of surfacing needed to get them equal and level -
Glued -
Bookmatched, sanded to 220 grit -
More later when I figure out what I want to do with this -
