Lignum vitae

We have been trying out Lignum vitae for turning. Lee Valley carries some in 1 x 3 or so by several feet long. Source unknown as far as we know. I was also given a piece by a relative who had been in Jamaica as a missionary. The slice he gave me is the cut from a log.
I cut this up cross grain and have stored it for now but will get to it soon. The other photo is of a "weight" which my son is making for his turntable. It will look quite nice when it is done.
