8.24" D x 5.5" H. This wood is from the mesquite forest along the Hassayampa river north of Wickenburg, Arizona.

Hi George,

I use a "used" dry coffee grounds (extra fine grind) for the larger cracks and ebony dust for the smaller ones. A combination of the two looks like a bark inclusion.

Finish sanding and you have an imitation bark inclusion.
