 I was pleasantly surprised by the grain! I’ve got a bookmatched pair earmarked for an electric guitar body.

Which app do you use for nostr communities?

 Ooooh that's not the beech I'm used to 🥹
Beautiful, can't wait to see the final piece! 

You can either use Amethyst (android only) or satellite.earth (the pwa is awesome)

 Thanks, I’ll check that out!

I think this beech is quite dark because it’s wet and newly cut, it’s mellowed out a bit now. Hopefully it doesn’t crack and warp too much and I’ve cut it thick enough to allow for shrinkage!

 There is a cool website that's basically a big encyclopedia of wood for woodworkers.  Check out the part about the shrinkage, it may be of help

 Nice one, I estimated 5% radial shrinkage so should be ok as long as I don’t have to take too much off to flatten it!
